Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle this seasoning over both sides of the chicken tenders. Wrap each piece with a slice of bacon and arrange them in the center of the baking sheet.
Step 2
On one side of the chicken, spread out the asparagus halves. Season them with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a tablespoon of oil. On the other side, place the riced cauliflower, season that with salt and pepper as well, and drizzle with the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Pop everything into the oven and roast for about 13 to 15 minutes. Halfway through, give the cauliflower and asparagus a good stir so they cook evenly. After that, switch the oven to broil and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the bacon crisps up and the chicken is cooked through—you’re aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
Once it’s done, take it out and drizzle the chicken tenders with some hot sauce if you like a little kick. Serve it right away or pack it up for leftovers.
