Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large heads of cauliflower
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken skewers. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, lemon juice, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even coating of the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the cauliflower into thick steaks, then cut each steak into bite sized florets. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange the marinated chicken on skewers and place them on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. Place the seasoned cauliflower on another greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Roast the cauliflower in the oven alongside the chicken for 20 25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
  5. Serve the lemon herb chicken skewers and garlic roasted cauliflower hot from the oven, garnished with additional fresh parsley and dill.
