PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  • 3

    Steam the cauliflower for about 6-8 minutes until just tender, then set aside.

  • 4

    Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Sauté or grill the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once done, chop into small cubes or shred.

  • 5

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the unsweetened almond milk and heat until warm.

  • 6

    Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar and cottage cheese until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.

  • 7

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower and cooked chicken. Pour the cheese sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

  • 8

    Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and optionally bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the top to get a slight golden hue.

  • 9

    Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, healthy twist on mac and cheese.
