INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (~107g)
3.5 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (~100g)
1.5 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded, ~42g)
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (~60g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven or grill pan for the chicken. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder, then grill until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Once cooked, slice into bite-sized pieces.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and briefly toast the garlic powder to enhance its flavor.
Add the steamed cauliflower into a blender along with the unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth, creating a creamy base.
Return the blended cauliflower mixture to the saucepan and stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over low heat until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Gently fold in the grilled chicken pieces into the creamy cauliflower mac sauce, ensuring even coating.
Serve warm, and enjoy the protein-packed twist on a classic comfort dish.
