INGREDIENTS
1/2 head Cauliflower (300g)
3 ounces Chicken Breast, cooked and shredded
2 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
While the cauliflower steams, season the cooked chicken breast with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic powder, stirring for about 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Add the low-fat milk to the saucepan and warm it slightly, then gradually stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until you obtain a smooth, creamy sauce.
Mix the steamed cauliflower and shredded chicken in a large bowl, then pour the cheese sauce over the mixture and gently toss to combine evenly.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
