A vibrant, herby Za’atar chicken paired with golden roast cauliflower salad, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon – a wholesome dish bursting with Middle Eastern flavour.

Za’atar chicken with roast cauliflower salad and lemon

Typically described as:

This dish takes classic Za’atar chicken and gives it a fresh, modern lift by serving it alongside a roast cauliflower salad tossed with herbs, toasted seeds, and lemon. The chicken comes out beautifully fragrant with its Za’atar crust, while the cauliflower adds earthy sweetness balanced by zesty citrus. It’s a recipe that looks impressive yet is simple enough for a weekday dinner.

Serves 4

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 35 minutes
Total: 50 minutes

  • 4 chicken breasts (skin-on if possible for extra crispness)

  • 3 tbsp Greenfields Za’atar

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 large cauliflower, broken into florets

  • 1 red onion, sliced into wedges

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Ground Cumin

  • 1 tsp Greenfields Sumac

  • 50g pomegranate seeds

  • 30g toasted almonds or pistachios, roughly chopped

  • Small bunch fresh parsley, chopped

  • Small bunch fresh mint, chopped

  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

  2. In a bowl, rub the chicken breasts with Za’atar, olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Leave to marinate while prepping the veg.

  3. Place cauliflower florets and red onion wedges on a baking tray. Toss with olive oil, cumin, sumac, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and tender.

  4. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (juices should run clear). Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  5. In a large bowl, toss the roasted cauliflower and onion with parsley, mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Scatter with pomegranate seeds and toasted nuts.

  6. Serve the Za’atar chicken sliced over the cauliflower salad with extra lemon wedges on the side.

If you prefer, swap chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs – they stay even juicier and carry the Za’atar flavour beautifully.
