PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  • 2

    Bring a pot of water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, dice the roasted chicken breast or use pre-cooked sliced chicken breast. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 4

    In a small saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and nonfat Greek yogurt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Gradually stir in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until a creamy sauce forms. Do not let it boil.

  • 5

    In a mixing bowl, toss the blanched cauliflower with the cheese sauce, ensuring even coating.

  • 6

    Fold in the diced chicken, then transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

  • 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until bubbly and the cheese on top is slightly golden.

  • 8

    Season with extra black pepper if desired and serve warm.
