Best Chicken With Roasted Cauliflower Recipes

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.

SHEET PAN CHICKEN, CAULIFLOWER AND POTATO ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the chicken with the cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes, oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the chicken mixture to a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until the chicken and cauliflower are golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Combine the parsley, capers, pine nuts and golden raisins in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the chicken to serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven and preheat to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and middle thirds. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Carefully remove sheet from oven and arrange chicken, skin side up, in a single layer. Roast on upper rack, 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and, with tongs, transfer to another rimmed baking sheet along with tomatoes. Add cauliflower, onion, and chickpeas to drippings on first sheet and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Roast chicken on upper rack and vegetables on middle rack until chicken is golden and cooked through and cauliflower is tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving dish and serve immediately.

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.
