INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
3 cups Cauliflower florets
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
Spices and Seasonings (Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper, Mustard Powder)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the 3 oz chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Sear in an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Once cooked, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, and sharp cheddar cheese. Sprinkle in a little salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
Fold in the diced chicken, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, comforting bowl of cauliflower mac with sharp cheddar.
