Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp olive oil

- 2 skinless chicken breast fillets
- 350g cauliflower florets, plus any leaves, torn

Step by step
Get ahead
Prep to the point of roasting a few hours ahead, store covered in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Combine the oil, spices and lime or lemon juice in a large bowl with some seasoning. Turn the chicken in the mixture to coat, then remove to a plate and cut 3 shallow slashes in the top of each breast. Add the cauliflower, red onion, chickpeas and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to coat in the spicy oil. Spread out on a shallow roasting tray in a single layer, add the chicken breasts to the tray and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, parboil the green beans for 2 minutes. Stir into the veg on the tray and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Mix the lime or lemon zest and a little seasoning into the yogurt and serve alongside the traybake.
