Chilli and lime grilled chicken with roasted cauliflower steaks | Network News
Chicken breast has a reputation for being dry, but a simple marinade of lime juice, chilli, garlic and olive oil adds plenty of flavour and helps keep the meat tender. About 30 minutes is all it needs. Leave it soaking for too long and the lime juice can start breaking down the proteins, leaving you with mushy chicken rather than the juicy result you’re after.
Serve it with cauliflower steaks for a tasty alternative to the usual side dishes. Cutting the cauliflower into thick slices rather than florets gives it more surface area to brown in the oven, creating golden, crispy edges and bringing out its naturally nutty flavour.
