Get winter hardy with a heart-warming salad. Starring hefty roasted veggies like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower florets, it’s perfect for the season. And it’s perfectly paleo when you drop in a handful of pecans to absorb some of that heat from the oven. Combine the tender-crisp and nutty textures with a splash of honey-Dijon vinaigrette, and then top with protein aplenty: pan-seared chicken breasts that are easily cut into juicy slices.

Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise (quarter if large). Cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces.
Roast the vegetables & pecans
On a lined sheet pan, toss the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring and adding the pecans halfway, 14 to 16 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the vegetables, pecans and vinaigrette.
