Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve the sweet potato lengthwise, then slice into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces if needed. Mince the cilantro.
  2. Place raisins in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30-60 seconds until plump. Set aside, covered.
  3. On a baking sheet, toss sweet potato and cauliflower with a drizzle of oil, half the curry powder, salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack for 20-25 minutes until browned and tender.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, half the cilantro, salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 teaspoon at a time until the sauce reaches a drizzling consistency.
  5. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with remaining curry powder, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. If browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium and cover the pan.
  6. Slice the chicken crosswise. Divide roasted vegetables among plates. Top with drained raisins and sliced chicken. Drizzle with cilantro yogurt sauce and garnish with remaining cilantro.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, toast the curry powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less water when thinning the yogurt.

To save time, you can microwave the sweet potato for 2-3 minutes before slicing to speed up roasting.

FAQ

Can I use frozen cauliflower?

Yes, but thaw and pat dry thoroughly before roasting to ensure it browns properly.

What can I substitute for golden raisins?

Regular raisins, dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots work well.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?

Use a plant-based yogurt for the sauce and ensure the chicken is cooked without butter.
