Preparation
Roast the cauliflower
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Juice the lemon. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ⅓ of the lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Add the cauliflower (halve if large); toss well. Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, stirring halfway, 18 to 20 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a large 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.
Boil the couscous
Meanwhile, add the couscous to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until tender. Drain and rinse. Return to the pot and add the spinach, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P; toss well.
Make the vinaigrette
Meanwhile, pick the oregano leaves off the stems; finely chop the leaves. In a small bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), ½ the cheese (crumble if desired) and ½ the oregano.
Plate your dish
Divide the couscous between your plates. Top with the cauliflower and chicken. Garnish with the remaining oregano and cheese. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
