Tandoori Chicken and Cauliflower Sheet Pan Dinner #Recipe @PegCochran

 


This recipe is quick, easy and very flavorful.  The most time-consuming part is measuring out all the spices.  And it cooks all on one sheet pan and is ready in about half an hour!  This recipe from The Modern Proper serves eight but as much as I like leftovers, I cut it down for the two of us.  I also used bone-in chicken thighs because that's what I had on hand.  It was still delicious.

 

 

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approx. 2 lbs.) or bone-in chicken thighs

2 lbs. cauliflower, separated into florets

¼ cup olive oil

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

3 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp ginger, grated or minced (or from a jar)

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cumin

1/4 cup minced cilantro, plus more for serving

1 tsp salt or to taste

1 (14 oz) can garbanzos beans, drained rinsed 

Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

 

 

Combine olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, turmeric, chili powder, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, cilantro and salt in a bowl. Mix well and coat chicken and cauliflower entirely in yogurt mixture.

 


 


 

 

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.  Arrange chicken and cauliflower on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the garbanzo beans and optional red onion slices over the chicken and cauliflower.

 


 

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until internal temp of the chicken reads 165°F.  

 


 

 

Serve the chicken with fresh cilantro, basmati rice and raita if desired.


 


Writer-in-residence Penelope Parish will need to use every trick in her quaint British bookshop to unravel a murderous plot that threatens to ruin a ducal wedding.

The wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Upper Chumley-on Stoke has all the makings of a fairy tale, complete with a glowing bride and horse-drawn carriage. But it wouldn't be much of a story without a villain, and as American Gothic novelist Penelope Parish is coming to learn, happy-ever-afters are as fraught in this charming British town as they are in her books.

When the Duke's former girlfriend is found murdered at the reception it's up to Penelope and her newfound family at the Open Book bookshop to catch the killer before they strike again.

  2. Thank you for the recipe, Peg. I've missed tandoori chicken while the small Indian restaurants near us have been closed for the pandemic. Now I can make it at home along with a vegetable in the same pan.
