Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a creative twist on classic mac and cheese by using tender cauliflower florets as a low-carb pasta substitute, enveloped in a velvety sharp cheddar and Greek yogurt sauce, and enhanced with lean chicken breast for an extra protein punch. This dish merges comforting flavors with a nutritious boost, ideal for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast (cooked, roasted)
3 cups Cauliflower florets (approx 210g)
2 ounces Sharp Cheddar (shredded)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cauliflower florets lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
While the cauliflower is roasting, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of garlic powder. Bake or pan-sear until cooked through, then chop or shred 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 smooth, creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
In a large bowl, mix the roasted cauliflower with the creamy cheddar sauce and the chopped chicken breast. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve warm as a hearty and protein-packed version of a classic mac & cheese.
