  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp curry powder

Roasted Cauliflower

Cilantro-Lime Yogurt

  • 1 heaping cup of cilantro
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • juice of 1 lime
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Marinate Chicken

  • Add all ingredients (chicken, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper) to a plastic bag or glass container (plastic container will stain) and place in fridge. You may also do this ahead of time and let sit in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.

Prepare Pickled Onions

  • Slice the red onions and add to a jar or container.
  • Cover with vinegar and mix in sugar and salt. Place in fridge until mealtime!

Cook Cauliflower & Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cut end off of cauliflower and chop into tiny, bite-sized pieces (view photo above for refernce).
  • Place cauliflower on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Season cauliflower with 1 tbsp of oil, salt and pepper and place in oven.
  • After 5 minutes, add chicken to a separate parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Cook chicken (and cauliflower) for 24 minutes.

Make Cilantro-Lime Yogurt

  • Place garlic clove in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 30s to 1 minute on medium. This will cut the harsh taste of raw garlic.
  • To a food processor or blender, add cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt and plain yogurt.
  • Blend for 1-2 minutes. If too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water to thin out.

Assemble!

  • Once chicken and cauliflower are done, remove from oven and add naan bread to toast (~3-5 minutes).
  • Let chicken stand for ~2 minutes and shred with 2 forks.
  • Remove naan bread from oven and slice down the middle.
  • Spread with cilantro-lime yogurt and top with chicken, cauliflower and pickled onions. Fold in half and enjoy!
