Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium cauliflower head
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 4

While the cauliflower is roasting, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Add the roasted cauliflower and cooked chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Cauliflower with Chicken!
