Enjoy a comforting twist on the classic mac and cheese with tender cauliflower florets that substitute for pasta, melded with a creamy sharp cheddar sauce and complemented by succulent grilled chicken. This dish offers a perfect balance of creamy, cheesy goodness with a satisfying protein boost, making it a versatile meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets
3 oz grilled chicken breast
1.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven or a stovetop pan for grilling the chicken breast if not already prepared.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Once done, lightly mash them with a fork to create a 'pasta-like' base.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and a creamy sauce forms. Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Dice the grilled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the mashed cauliflower with the creamy cheesy sauce, then gently fold in the diced chicken.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm for a hearty, protein-packed meal.
