Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a modern twist on the classic mac and cheese, where tender cauliflower takes the place of pasta and is enriched with a velvety sharp cheddar and Greek yogurt sauce. Lean chicken adds a protein punch, while a blend of simple seasonings brings warmth to every bite.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (300g)
3 ounces skinless Chicken Breast (85g)
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar (56g)
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (125g)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or boil until just tender, about 7-8 minutes. Drain well.
While the cauliflower is cooking, season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side, then dice into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, diced chicken, shredded sharp cheddar, and Greek yogurt. Sprinkle in the remaining garlic powder, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss all ingredients together until the cauliflower is well coated with the creamy, cheesy mixture.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and bake for 10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, lower-calorie twist on a classic comfort dish.
