Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut into parts - ask the butcher at the grocery store to cut it for you
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets with big stems removed
- 1 lemon thinly sliced with peel left on
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper sold in spice aisle
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 prigs rosemary
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a large roasting pan arrange the raw chicken parts and cauliflower.
- Drizzle the olive oil over top and rest the two rosemary sprigs across the top.
- Add the lemon slices and then sprinkle the entire dish with the garlic, lemon pepper, and salt.
- Pour 1 cup of water in the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Bake until the chicken breast registers an internal temperature between 170 to 175 degrees with a quick read thermometer, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- The chicken can be browned in a skillet on the stove prior to roasting, but is not necessary. I tried it both ways and while searing the chicken added a nice additional flavor it certainly is not an extra step I would want to deal with when short on time. The chicken pictured above was not browned in advance and the outcome was delicious.
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
