Baked Chicken and Cauliflower
Real cold weather comfort food! This method means no pre-cooking of the cauliflower, but if you use light meat chicken, you'll want to add it after the cauliflower has cooked about 30-40 minutes. This is a complete dinner for the two of us.
What you need
- 3 organic chicken leg/thigh combo pieces
- 1 small to medium head cauliflower, broken and/or cut into 1 inch pieces
- 10-12 crimini mushrooms, quartered (optional)
- Coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Remove the skin from the underside of the chicken leg portion of the pieces (you don't want skin on the bottom of the piece)
- Brush a 13x9 baking dish with fat (I use duck fat, but you could use whatever you like)
- Place cauliflower and mushrooms in the bottom of the dish
- Place chicken pieces in a single layer over the top
- Sprinkle with salt & pepper
- Bake for 90 minutes, rotating the pan and stirring vegetables at 30 minute intervals
