INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cauliflower Florets
3 oz Chicken Breast, cooked
1 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Skim Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Mustard Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole wheat flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the skim milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth.
Gently fold in the steamed cauliflower, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the cheesy sauce.
Fold in the diced or shredded chicken breast, warming through for another 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm and enjoy this protein-packed comfort dish at any time of day.
