Chicken and Cauliflower is a simple one-pan dinner that delivers an unexpected richness of flavor. Succulent chicken with a kiss of heat from chipotle chilies pairs perfectly with the nutty sweetness of roasted cauliflower. This versatile duo is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
Stir 3 tablespoons of the butter with chopped chipotle chiles. Rub 1 tablespoon of the chipotle butter under the skin of the chicken legs. Melt 1 tablespoon of the chipotle butter in a small dish and toss with cauliflower. Reserve remaining tablespoon of chipotle butter. Season chicken and cauliflower with salt and pepper.
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter (not the chipotle butter) in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until brown, about 8 minutes per side. Add cauliflower to the pan and dot with remaining tablespoon of chipotle butter.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked through. Squeeze with lime juice and serve.
