Chicken With Roasted Cauliflower Food

OVEN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED RED BLISS POTATOES AND CAULIFLOWER FLORETS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• 2. To prepare the chickens, in a small bowl, combine the butter, thyme leaves, parsley, and lemon juice and zest and mix well. Rub the herb butter under the skin of the breast and over the meat of the chickens. Season all over with the salt and pepper.
• 3. Tuck the wing tips under the backs of the chickens and use kitchen twine to tie the legs together. Put the onion, carrots, celery, thyme sprigs, and wine in a large roasting pan. Cover with a roasting rack and place the chickens on the rack breast side up. Roast in the center of the oven until the chickens are golden brown, their skin is crispy, and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh joint registers 165 degrees F to 170 degrees F, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Discard the onion, carrots, celery, and thyme.
• 4. While the chickens are roasting, make the potatoes. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, onion, oregano, and paprika and mix well. Spread the potatoes evenly on two large rimmed baking sheets and drizzle them with the olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and shake the pans to coat evenly. Roast, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking, until tender when pierced with a knife and browned in spots, about 45 minutes.
• 5. To prepare the cauliflower, remove the outer green leaves from both heads, leaving the cores intact. Place one cauliflower head on its base on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut it into 1-inch, bite-size florets. Transfer the florets to a large bowl. Repeat with the other cauliflower. Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, onion, parsley, and chili flakes and toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower evenly on two large rimmed baking sheets. Roast until tender and golden brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• 6. Transfer one roasted chicken to a platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let stand for 15 minutes. To serve, carve the chicken into 10 pieces and serve with half of the roasted potatoes and cauliflower.

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 mins before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
• Lay the leafy stalks from the cauliflowers in a large roasting tray (to sit the chicken on). Set the cauliflower heads aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the garlic, thyme and a little salt and pepper. Carefully insert your fingers under the skin of the chicken breasts and loosen the skin from the breasts. Push most of the olive oil mixture under the skin, spreading it over the breast meat with your fingers. Sit the chicken on the cauliflower stalks.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil mix over the chicken and rub it in well with your hands. Season with pepper and evenly crumble over the stock cube. Tightly cover the tray with foil. Cook for 1 hr 20 mins.
• In the meantime, break the cauliflower heads into florets. Once the cooking time is up, take the tray out of the oven and remove the foil. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. While it's coming up to temperature, add the cauliflower florets to the roasting tray and pour in the chicken stock.
• Put the tray on the bottom shelf of the oven. Roast for 30-40 mins, or until the chicken is golden brown all over and the cauliflower is cooked. Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the juices and toss the cauliflower.
• To make the toasted sourdough, scatter the pieces of sourdough on a small baking tray 20 mins before the end of the chicken cooking time. Drizzle with the olive oil and season. Put on the top shelf of the oven for 15-20 mins, or until golden brown.
• Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sourdough and mix well. Remove the chicken from the oven and leave to rest for 15 mins before carving. Serve the chicken with the roasted cauliflower, cauliflower stalks and toasted sourdough, spooning over the pan juices.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND HERBY YOGURT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a rack in the center.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the coriander, paprika and Aleppo pepper with 1 tablespoon oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat in the oil and spices. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking sheet.
• Add the cauliflower, shallots, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer surrounding the chicken.
• Bake until the chicken is deep golden brown and cooked through and the cauliflower is browned, tossing the vegetables once or twice, about 40 minutes. (If the chicken is done before the cauliflower, transfer the thighs to a plate, cover, and continue cooking the cauliflower until golden brown.)
• While the chicken bakes, prepare the yogurt sauce: Whisk the yogurt, mint, cilantro, lemon juice and grated garlic with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter and top with any juices left on the sheet pan and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a swoop of yogurt on the side, and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• Place oven rack in middle position. Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• Mix 2 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons cumin, cauliflower, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss well, then pour onto one-half of a baking sheet.
• Rub the remaining oil onto the chicken legs. Season with the rest of the cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on the open end of the baking sheet, skin side up.
• Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the cauliflower and the chicken legs, and return sheet to the oven. Cook for 10 more minutes. Flip again, then cook for a final 5 to 10 minutes. Remove when both the cauliflower and the chicken are nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, mix together the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. Season with salt.
• Serve the chicken and cauliflower with the tahini sauce. Dust with a pinch of smoked paprika.

PESTO CHICKEN BAKE WITH CAULIFLOWER (LOW CARB, GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 in (23x33 cm) casserole dish. (You can line with foil or parchment paper if desired. I used a stoneware dish so it wasn't necessary.)
• Toss the cauliflower with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until crisp-tender.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
• Mix the shredded chicken and half of the shredded mozzarella into the pan with the cauliflower.
• Stir together the basil pesto and cream. Pour evenly over the casserole, and mix until everything is coated evenly. Sprinkle remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
• Return the casserole to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil ribbons if desired.

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack 8 inches from heat. Sprinkle skin of chicken thighs with ½ teaspoon salt. Place chicken, skin side down, in a large, broiler-safe skillet. Cook over medium, undisturbed, until chicken skin is crisp and light golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a plate. Discard drippings in skillet.
• Add couscous, shallots, olives, dates, cumin, cinnamon, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt to skillet. Stir in 1⅓ cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Nestle chicken, skin side up, in couscous mixture. Cover skillet with aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of thighs registers at least 165°F, and couscous is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to broil. Uncover skillet; broil until chicken skin is crisp, about 5 minutes. Top with cilantro and pomegranate arils.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a large baking sheet with foil; grease well and set aside. Whisk the vinegar with the mustard, honey, 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and the pepper.
