Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the cauliflower florets and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 4
Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the cauliflower. Mix well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices.
Step 5
Transfer the spiced cauliflower florets to a large baking dish and spread them out evenly.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chopped chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned on all sides but not fully cooked through.
Step 7
Place the browned chicken pieces on top of the cauliflower in the baking dish.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken and cauliflower.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra hint of freshness.
