INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (approx 200g)
3 ounces cooked chicken breast (approx 85g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (125g)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half the garlic powder. Spread them onto a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
While the cauliflower roasts, warm the cooked chicken breast and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded sharp cheddar with the nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir continuously until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce. Add the remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Once the cauliflower is ready, combine it in a bowl with the chopped chicken. Pour the cheesy sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve warm, and enjoy your protein-packed twist on a classic comfort dish!
