INGREDIENTS
1 cup chopped cauliflower
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 ounces cooked chicken breast
2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked finish, or keep a stovetop handy for a quicker preparation.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the shredded sharp cheddar cheese with plain nonfat Greek yogurt and dry mustard powder in a small bowl to form a creamy sauce.
Add the diced chicken to the bowl with the steamed cauliflower and stir to combine.
Pour the cheese-yogurt sauce over the chicken and cauliflower, ensuring an even coating. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
For a warm, melty finish, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10 minutes or heat gently on the stovetop over low heat until the cheese softens.
Serve warm and enjoy this protein-packed twist on classic mac and cheese.
