SHEET PAN BLACKENED CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER BOWL

I coated cauliflower and chicken in a homemade blackened seasoning and then roasted them in the oven. Black beans, avocado, mango salsa, and Cilantro Lime Ranch rounded out the toppings and I piled them all over basmati rice. So good!

This is a tasty, healthy, and convenient meal. We like ‘meals in a bowl’ (as my boys call it) because each one of us can cater it to our liking. As well, you can sub any vegetable. If you don’t like cauliflower try broccoli instead.

Also, it makes a great meal prep meal. You can cut the chicken and cauliflower in advance as well as make the Cilantro Lime Ranch. In addition, you can cook rice in advance.

This meal comes together relatively quickly even though it’s not all made on the sheet pan. Cutting the chicken and cauliflower takes the longest time. However, it takes my oven a while to come to temperature so I really couldn’t cook it any faster. Feel free to purchase and use precut cauliflower as well as chicken tenders if you want. It will save some time.

I used canned black beans if I don’t have any leftovers from my Slow Cooker Black Bean recipe.

You can serve this over salad greens, quinoa, or rice. I used rice. As soon as you put the chicken and cauliflower in the oven to cook, start your rice and they’ll both be done about the same time.

INGREDIENTS

The full recipe with amounts is listed below in the recipe card where you can save it to your personal recipe box.
