PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked finish, otherwise prepare a skillet for stovetop cooking.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Allow to rest and then dice into small pieces.

  • 4

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the low-fat milk and dry mustard powder. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth to create the cheese sauce. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

  • 5

    In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, diced chicken, and cheese sauce. Mix gently until everything is well coated.

  • 6

    Optional: Transfer the mixture into an ovenproof dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors and achieve a slightly crispy top.

  • 7

    Serve warm and enjoy this protein-packed twist on a classic comfort dish.
