Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Opies capers, drained

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6 and place the chicken breasts and cauliflower florets onto a lined baking tray.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, capers, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken and cauliflower and use your hands to massage it in, ensuring they are well coated.

Once cooked, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, parsley and lemon wedges, if using.
