The Ultimate Cauliflower Cheese

This recipe is for a cauliflower cheese, a classic British side dish that is simple, filling, and healthy.

I have a confession to make. Thanks to my wife, I’ve been sucked into the world of Cotswold, UK fashion vloggers. Think crunchy homestead vloggers in the US, but with renovated manor houses and Land Rovers. However, the thing that I really watch for is their gardening and cooking. Many of them grow their own produce and source local ingredients. Ironically, that’s something you can easily do right here in our own region. I’ve featured recipes from Josie Irons before, but now her husband, Charlie, has started his own channel dedicated to cooking and gardening. This recipe is for a cauliflower cheese, a classic British side dish that is simple, filling, and healthy.

Greek Lemon Chicken and Potato Bake

I love one-pan meals, especially when no measuring and exact ingredients are involved.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken leg quarters
  • 1 (24 ounce) bag small potatoes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced, divided
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon and herb seasoning
  • 1 (12 ounce) package fresh green beans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet with sides.
  2. Place chicken quarters on prepared baking sheet. Stir potatoes, olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon herb seasoning together in a large bowl to coat potatoes. Arrange potatoes around chicken on baking sheet. Pour about 3/4 of oil mixture over chicken, reserving remaining oil; drizzle remaining lemon juice over chicken and potatoes.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes; shake baking sheet to loosen potatoes, then continue baking for 15 minutes. Place green beans in reserved oil mixture; toss to coat. Remove chicken mixture from oven; pour green bean mixture over chicken and potatoes.
  4. Return pan to the oven; bake until green beans are tender with a bite, chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F.
