1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut cauliflower florets into 1” pieces. Combine pretzel breading and 1 tsp. olive oil in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Combine honey and red pepper flakes (to taste) in another mixing bowl. Set aside. Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. If using pork chops, season same amount.
-
2 Prepare the Chicken
In another mixing bowl, thoroughly combine flour and 1 Tbsp. water. Place chicken breasts on prepared baking sheet. Brush or spoon flour-water mixture on chicken and top with pretzel breading-olive oil mixture, pressing gently to adhere. If using pork chops, follow same instructions.
-
3 Cook the Chicken
Roast chicken in hot oven until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 17-20 minutes. If using pork chops, roast until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 12-14 minutes. While chicken roasts, cook cauliflower.
-
4 Cook the Cauliflower
Bring a medium pot with cauliflower covered by water to a boil, covered. Cook until fork-tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain cauliflower in a colander and return to pot. Add sour cream, cheese, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper and mash until smooth. Cover and set aside.
