Sumac is a spice made of the dried, ground berries of the Rhus coriaria shrub and utilized in Middle Eastern dishes like kebabs and salads to add a fruit-tart flavor. Sumac is tops when it comes to antioxidants. Look for it in places where dried spices are sold or online and try it in hummus, soups and dishes like this supremely quick chicken and cauliflower sheet pan supper.

This is a great low-maintenance, meal-prep option. Make it at the beginning of the week and enjoy it all week long for lunch, taking note of how the protein and fiber keep you full for several hours.

Sheet-Pan Chicken With Cauliflower & Olives

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds (680g) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) pieces
  • 1 medium (680g) head cauliflower, trimmed into (1-inch/2.5-cm) florets
  • 2 cups (312g) cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup (85g) green Castelvetrano olives (with pits)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons sumac, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped and smashed with the side of a knife

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260ºC). Place a baking sheet on the center rack of the oven as it preheats. (Preheating the pan prevents the ingredients from sticking.)

Toss the chicken, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, olives, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sumac, salt and pepper together. Pour onto the hot baking sheet and carefully arrange in an even layer with a spatula. Bake, stirring once, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cauliflower is tender and charred in places, 15 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by combining the yogurt, garlic and remaining sumac in a small bowl. Serve the chicken mixture with the sauce on the side.

Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1/4 recipe, about 1 1/2 cups/230g chicken and veggies, plus 2 tablespoons yogurt sauce
