PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 6-8 minutes) and set aside.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan, whisk together the low-fat milk and whole wheat flour over medium heat to create a light roux. Allow it to thicken slightly for about 2 minutes.

  • 4

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt into the milk mixture, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

  • 5

    Fold the steamed cauliflower and shredded chicken into the cheese sauce until everything is evenly coated.

  • 6

    Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the top to bubble.

  • 7

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
