Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, sweet potatoes, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Baking
  1. Spread the veggies onto a lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the chicken with the remaining olive oil, buffalo sauce, honey, and seasonings.
  3. After 20 minutes, take the sheet out and add the chicken mixture to the pan.
  4. Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy finish and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
  1. For added crunch, toss in the coleslaw mix with some vinegar and season lightly. Serve with dill, Greek yogurt, and feta if using.

Notes

Chop veggies evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. For a spicier dish, use hotter buffalo sauce or add cayenne. You can also try different veggies like zucchini or bell peppers.
