Roasted Chicken and Cauliflower Salad
Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a large baking sheet with foil; grease well and set aside. Whisk the vinegar with the mustard, honey, 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and the pepper. Slowly drizzle in the oil, while whisking constantly, until mixture comes together. Measure out ¼ cup (60 mL) and set aside. Stir the garlic into the remaining mixture.
Toss the chicken with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of the garlic mixture. Season all over with remaining salt; arrange on the prepared pan. Toss the cauliflower with the remaining garlic mixture. Spread in a single layer on the same pan next to the chicken.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the centre of the largest chicken breast. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and tent with foil. Sprinkle beans and Parmesan over cauliflower. Roast for an additional 10 minutes or until browned; cool slightly.
Meanwhile, thinly slice each chicken breast; set aside. Toss cauliflower mixture with spinach, red pepper, red onion and reserved dressing. Divide salad evenly between 4 dinner plates. Top with sliced chicken. Serve immediately.
Helpful Tip
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts or almonds for some added crunch.
