Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme.

Step 5

Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the seasoned chicken pieces to the sheet, distributing them evenly among the cauliflower.

Step 9

Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and cauliflower, ensuring some moisture in the oven to aid cooking.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
