Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients  

  • 1 head broccoli - chopped into florets OR 3-4 cups per head if buying just florets
  • 1 head cauliflower - chopped into florets OR 3-4 cups per head if buying just florets
  • 1 shallot - sliced
  • 2 TBSP EVOO/avocado oil - for veggies
  • 1 TBSP EVOO/avocado oil - for chicken
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt - for veggies
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt - for chicken
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper - for veggies
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper - for chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram - oregano OR Herbs de Provence will work as well
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil/parchment paper and coat with cooking spray or drizzle of oil.
  • Combine broccoli, cauliflower, shallots, oil for veggies, salt and pepper for veggies in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Combine garlic, marjoram (or other) and the remaining oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the chicken with the garlic mixture. Place on the baking sheet. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 15 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven to toss the vegetables and drizzle the chicken with vinegar. Sprinkle all with Parmesan and continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
  • If chicken skin is not crispy at the end of cooking, set oven to BROIL for 3-4 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning the veggies.
  • Remove from oven and serve hot!

Recipe Notes

If increasing servings beyond 4, consider using 2 or more baking sheets in order to give the food space to cook and to avoid mushy veggies.
