Savor this innovative twist on traditional mac and cheese where tender cauliflower takes center stage, enveloped in a creamy, tangy sharp cheddar sauce accented with a hint of Greek yogurt.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets
1.5 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
3 ounces grilled chicken breast, diced
0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes, then blend or mash lightly to create a smooth texture.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the steamed cauliflower, almond milk, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through.
Remove from heat and whisk in the nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and diced grilled chicken breast, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and heat in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, protein-packed twist on classic mac.
