INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower
1/2 cup (56g) Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup (60g) Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup (61g) Low-Fat Milk
2 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.25 tsp Paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you prefer a roasted flavor for the cauliflower, or bring a pot of water to a simmer for steaming.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and either roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly browned, or steam for about 8-10 minutes until fork-tender.
While the cauliflower cooks, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Greek yogurt and low-fat milk. Stir in garlic powder and paprika, warming gently to create a light, creamy sauce without boiling.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and mash slightly with the back of a fork to create a texture similar to mac.
Pour the warm dairy sauce over the cauliflower and mix to combine.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until partially melted into the warm mixture.
Plate the cauliflower mac in a serving dish and top with sliced or chopped grilled chicken breast for an added protein boost.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
