Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a comforting twist on classic mac & cheese where tender, steamed cauliflower replaces pasta and is paired with lean grilled chicken breast. Smothered in a creamy sharp cheddar sauce enhanced with nonfat Greek yogurt and a touch of dijon mustard, this dish offers a perfect balance of protein and flavor for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F if you plan to bake the chicken or heat a grill pan over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Grill or bake the chicken until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side on a grill, or 20 minutes in the oven). Once cooked, let it rest and then dice into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 8-10 minutes) or microwave in a covered dish with a small amount of water for 5-7 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower with the shredded sharp cheddar, nonfat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until the mixture is evenly coated.
Fold in the diced chicken breast, ensuring it is well distributed throughout the dish.
Serve warm as a comforting high-protein alternative to traditional mac & cheese.
