1 Sheet-Pan Chicken and Cauliflower
This simple meal is given its golden color from turmeric. The fat rendered from the cooked chicken skin ("schmaltz") makes the cauliflower completely succulent. Plus, the oven does 65% work, and there are no dirty dishes! If you have a sweettooth, you can add 1t of sugar to the rub mixture. If you want to make a heavier meal, you can add diced potatoes to the pan when you add the cauliflower.
