Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
A creative twist on the classic mac that swaps traditional pasta for tender cauliflower florets, loaded with a rich, sharp cheddar and creamy nonfat Greek yogurt sauce, and balanced with lean grilled chicken for an extra protein punch.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz grilled Chicken Breast
2 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dry Mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you choose to roast the cauliflower for extra flavor, or simply steam it on the stovetop until tender.
Steam or roast the cauliflower florets until they are fork-tender. If roasting, toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Grill the chicken until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the skim milk and nonfat Greek yogurt, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Slowly add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese while stirring until melted and smooth.
Add the garlic powder and dry mustard into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, diced chicken, and cheesy sauce. Gently mix until the cauliflower is well coated.
Serve warm immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, low-calorie twist on a comforting classic.
