1 1/2 cups each

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil or peanut oil

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 tablespoon yellow or black mustard seeds

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 pound carrots, cut into thin strips

  • 2 ½ cup cauliflower florets

  • 1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

  • 2 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted, or dry roasted peanuts (optional)

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. If desired, line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil; set aside. In a small bowl combine oil, sugar, mustard seeds, turmeric, cumin, ginger, coriander, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.

  2. In an extra-large bowl combine chicken, carrots, cauliflower, and beans. Drizzle with oil mixture; stir gently to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking pan.

  3. Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and carrots are crisp-tender and starting to brown.

  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro and, if desired, almonds. Squeeze a lime wedge over each serving.
