Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Cooked quinoa or rice for serving

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Roast the Cauliflower: On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary if using. Spread them out in a single layer.
