Enjoy a comforting twist on traditional mac and cheese with bright cauliflower serving as the base, mixed with a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce and elevated with lean grilled chicken breast. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of flavors and textures in every bite, from the creamy, tangy sauce to the tender, well-seasoned chicken.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (200g)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (56g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (120g)
1/4 cup reduced fat milk (60ml)
3 ounces grilled chicken breast, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, warm the reduced fat milk over low heat. Add the sharp cheddar cheese and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, melted cheddar mixture, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and dry mustard powder. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well incorporated.
Fold in the diced grilled chicken breast, ensuring even distribution throughout the dish.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and achieve a slight golden top.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
