Teach Kids to Eat Healthy by Cooking Healthy: Roasted Chicken and Orange Cauliflower...Yummy!!!

How to Roast a Whole Head of Cauliflower

It's Wednesday, and once again, we don't have any leftovers to remake!! Does that mean the kids are really liking what we are eating? Maybe!! The kids wanted to go for a ride in the combine tonight before wheat harvest ends. So, before we headed out, we threw some pre-seasoned chicken breast (this is a huge time saver when you are in a hurry) and a whole head of orange cauliflower for roasting into the oven. An hour and a half later, we walked in the door and supper was ready!

Total Prep Time: 5 minutes; Total Roasting Time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients Needed:

1 pound pre-seasoned chicken breast
1 head cauliflower, leaves removed
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. garlic
1 tbsp. chives
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. curry
1 tsp. tarragon

Equipment Needed:

2 casserole dishes
aluminum foil

Roasting Instructions for Chicken Breast and a Whole Head of Cauliflower

Step 1 - preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2 - place pre-seasoned chicken in one of the casserole dishes and cover.

Step 3 - tear 2 long pieces of aluminum foil and place in a 'cross' position in the other casserole dish and place the whole head of cauliflower in the middle.

Step 4 - mix extra virgin olive oil, garlic, chives, turmeric, cumin, curry and tarragon in a small bowl. Using a cooking brush, coat the top of the cauliflower with the mixture. Cover with both pieces of aluminum foil. Baked in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
