Baked Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower & Hasselback Potatoes

Servings: 4
Time: 1 hr 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

4 russet potatoes (about 6" in length)
Olive oil
4 tbsp Italian seasoning
4 tbsp melted butter
2 chicken breasts
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper
1 head cauliflower
3 cloves garlic (or 3 tsp)
1 tbsp lemon juice (half a lemon)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Rub potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Slice a thin portion on one side of the potatoes lengthwise (so it sits flat) and set aside.
  3. Place the potato on the flat side and make 1/8" thick slices, ensuring not to cut all the way through the potato. Can use wooden spoons or chop sticks on either side of the potato to stop from cutting all the way through. (see image below if not understanding what I mean for the cutting)
