PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes, then transfer them to a large bowl.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk and cornstarch, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 4

    Reduce heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring until the cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  • 5

    Dice or shred the cooked chicken breast and fold it into the steamed cauliflower.

  • 6

    Pour the cheddar sauce over the cauliflower and chicken mixture, stirring gently until well combined.

  • 7

    Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors and achieve a lightly bubbly top.

  • 8

    Remove from the oven, give a final stir, and serve warm.
