Instructions

  1. 1.

    Adjust oven rack 6 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

  2. 2.

    Combine chicken, 2 tablespoons of oil, baharat, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Arrange chicken in a single layer on half of the prepared sheet and broil for 5 minutes.

  3. 3.

    In a clean large bowl, combine cauliflower, 2 tablespoons of oil, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Spread cauliflower on the empty half of the sheet.

  4. 4.

    Broil until cauliflower is well browned and tender and chicken registers at least 175 degrees, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  5. 5.

    Meanwhile, in the now-empty bowl, combine cabbage, lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.

  6. 6.

    In a second bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.

  7. 7.

    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  8. 8.

    Spread hummus over the bottoms of individual serving bowls. Top with piles of chicken, cauliflower, cabbage, and tomato mixture.

  9. 9.

    Drizzle with extra oil and sprinkle with mint. Serve with warm pita wedges for scooping.

Notes

  • Baharat is a warm, savory spice blend used throughout the Middle East. If you can’t find it, you can substitute 1½ teaspoons paprika, ¾ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.

  • This is kind of good first day only. Using the same sheet tray for both the cauliflower and chicken thighs prevented the cauli from getting a good brown (chicken fat rendered out). Either use a separate oven, two smaller pans, or cook at different times.

  • Probably needs rice or something, not enough carbs to make this a filling meal imo.
