This shareable, Spanish-inspired dish features pan-seared chicken and charred, roasted cauliflower in a smoky Romesco sauce that comes together quickly. In fact, the entire dish is ready in 30 minutes! For a little flair, you can plate this meal by spreading the romesco on the plate first, then arranging the chicken and cauliflower top. But it will be equally tasty any way you serve!
