Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Savor a reimagined classic where tender, diced chicken breast and roasted cauliflower florets are enveloped in a luxuriously creamy sharp cheddar sauce. This dish brings a comforting twist to traditional mac and cheese—but lighter, wholesome, and perfectly balanced to fuel your day.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (diced)
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
PREPARATION
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying a comforting, protein-packed twist on traditional mac and cheese.
