Baked Cauliflower Chicken Casserole – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Baked Cauliflower Chicken Casserole?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Next, remove the bones from the chicken thighs.

STEP 2

Place the prepared thighs in a medium bowl and season them with salt, pepper, dried garlic, curry, and paprika.

TIPS: Instead of using a ready-made chicken spice mixture, you can just add to the dish dried garlic, curry, and ground paprika.

TIPS: Instead of using dried garlic, you can opt for a small clove of fresh garlic as a substitute. To prepare it, finely chop or use a garlic press to extract its flavor.

STEP 3

Give them a good sprinkle of lemon juice and vegetable oil, making sure everything is well mixed. Let the thighs marinate for 10-15 minutes.

TIPS: When it comes to lemon juice, you have the choice between using fresh lemons or bottled lemon juice. Both options work just fine, so go with whatever you have on hand or prefer. The tangy flavor of lemon will add a refreshing twist to your dish.

STEP 4

While the chicken is marinating, wash the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

STEP 5

Peel the onions and cut them into quarter rings.

TIPS: Ever wondered what it means to cut an onion into quarter rings? Start by cutting a whole onion in half lengthwise. Then, cut one of the halves in half lengthwise again. Finally, slice the resulting quarter of the onion across, and voila! You’ve got yourself a quarter ring.

STEP 6

Divide the cauliflower into florets.

STEP 7

Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the chicken thighs on it, skin side up.

STEP 8

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated to 200°C (400°F) oven and let the chicken bake for 15 minutes until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

STEP 9

In the meantime, heat a frying pan over high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Toss in the chopped onions and mushrooms and fry them for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

STEP 10

Then, add yogurt and water to the pan, mixing everything well. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

STEP 11

Once the chicken thighs are done baking, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Fill the space between the chicken with the cauliflower florets.

STEP 12

Spread the yogurt and mushroom mixture evenly over the thighs and cauliflower. Give the thighs a nice coating of sour cream.

TIPS: Before baking, try coating your vegetables or meat with regular mayonnaise instead of sour cream. They both not only add moisture but also enhances the taste.

STEP 13

Put the baking sheet with the chicken and vegetables back into the oven, which should now be preheated to 180°C (350°F). Bake for another 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

STEP 14

When everything is ready, sprinkle some chopped parsley leaves over the finished dish.

STEP 15

Serve Baked Cauliflower Chicken Casserole while it’s still hot. Enjoy your meal!
