PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

  • 2

    While the cauliflower roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir the whole wheat flour into the olive oil to create a light roux. Slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk, ensuring there are no lumps.

  • 4

    Once the mixture warms up and thickens slightly, add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

  • 5

    Combine the roasted cauliflower and sautéed chicken in a bowl. Pour the warm cheddar sauce over the mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

  • 6

    Serve immediately while warm, enjoying a comforting, protein-packed twist on traditional mac and cheese.
