Enjoy a nutritious twist on traditional mac and cheese featuring tender cauliflower florets, creamy sharp cheddar, succulent chicken, and a hint of tangy Greek yogurt. This dish delivers a satisfying blend of comfort food flavors with a protein boost, perfect for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked finish. Alternatively, you can finish the dish on the stovetop.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
While the cauliflower is steaming, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, shred or dice the chicken.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower and nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the cauliflower 'sauce'.
Transfer the cauliflower sauce to a mixing bowl and stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Fold the cooked chicken into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with a little extra salt or pepper if needed.
For a baked version, transfer everything to an oven-safe dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. For a stovetop version, simply heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy cauliflower mac!
