Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a hearty take on a classic mac dish with a twist—tender cauliflower florets mixed with lean chicken and smothered in a rich, sharp cheddar sauce. This comforting dish offers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors that's both protein-packed and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower florets
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you plan on finishing the dish with a light bake to meld flavors.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess water.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once done, shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Add in the steamed cauliflower and cooked chicken to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to ensure everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Optionally, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes for a slightly crispy top.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, cheesy cauliflower mac!
