Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a reinvented twist on classic mac and cheese where tender cauliflower replaces traditional pasta, enveloped in a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce with a protein boost from lean chicken and creamy Greek yogurt. Each bite offers a comforting, savory experience with a balanced blend of flavors, textures, and a nourishing nutritional profile.
INGREDIENTS
200g cauliflower
56g (2 oz) sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (120g)
2 oz chicken breast, cooked
1 garlic clove
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Break the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the chicken breast if not already cooked. Once cooled, chop or shred into bite-sized pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, sharp cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the sauce into a saucepan and gently heat over low-medium heat, stirring continuously to merge the flavors. If needed, adjust the thickness with a splash of water or milk.
Mix the warmed sauce with the chopped chicken pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and bake for 10 minutes to meld the flavors and slightly brown the top.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying the comforting twist on traditional mac and cheese.
