Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Place the cauliflower on a sheet pan and toss it with 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil, 2 g (1/3 tsp) salt, 1 g (1/4 tsp) black pepper, and the smoked paprika. Roast for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden around the edges.
2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the remaining salt and black pepper.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil and 20 g (1.5 tbsp) butter. Sear the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until well browned and they reach a safe internal temperature of 74 °C / 165 °F. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
4
In the same skillet, add the radishes and sauté for 4 minutes. Stir in half of the minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Remove the radishes and set aside.
5
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and cook until it turns nutty brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the walnuts and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly so they do not burn.
6
Add the remaining garlic, fresh rosemary, and Dijon mustard. Cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release the browned bits.
7
Add the heavy cream and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
8
Return the chicken breasts and radishes to the skillet. Cook 2 minutes more, spooning the sauce over the chicken to blend the flavors.
9
Serve each portion with roasted cauliflower, one chicken breast, radishes, and plenty of sauce. Finish with fresh parsley on top.

Chef tips

For a deeper sauce, let the butter brown slowly without burning; it should smell like toasted nuts. If the chicken breasts are very thick, you can finish them in the oven at 190 °C / 375 °F for 5 to 8 minutes after searing.

Substitutions

You can swap the walnuts for pecans if you want a slightly sweeter flavor. Parmesan can be replaced with Grana Padano. If you do not have fresh rosemary, use 1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
