Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the cauliflower head and pat dry. Cut into small florets and spread them out on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cauliflower, then sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder. Toss gently to coat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts on the other side of the baking sheet and brush the seasoned olive oil mix over all sides of the chicken.

Step 6

Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chicken and tossing the cauliflower halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender, and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and cauliflower.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted dish for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein meal!
