Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, season with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat.

Step 4

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, tossing halfway through.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine.
