In a small bowl, combine oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Reserve about 2 tablespoons to marinate the vegetables.
Marinate the Chicken:
Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
Add the chicken to a freezer-safe ziplockbag, followed by the marinade.
Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, and massage the chicken to coat in the marinade. Transfer to a fridge, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Marinate the Veggies (You can do this before roasting or marinade for 5-10 minutes before roasting):
In a large bowl, add chickpeas, cauliflower and pour in the reserved marinade (2 tablespoons). Stir to coat. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Roasting the Chicken:
Preheat the oven to 450°.
Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan, skin side up. Roast chicken for 15 minutes then turn the chicken pieces and continue roasting for additional 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Roasting the Chicken and Veggies:
Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, and cauliflower into the pan. Roast the chicken and veggies for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°).If you are using chicken breast, do not overcook it! You may need to remove it from the oven about 5-10 minutes earlier than the other pieces.
Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley and enjoy.
Notes
If the chicken breast with bone in is too big, just cut in half.
