Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
A creative twist on the classic mac and cheese, this dish uses tender cauliflower florets in place of pasta and is enriched with sharp cheddar, nonfat Greek yogurt, and lean chicken for an extra protein boost. Creamy, comforting, and satisfying, it’s a balanced meal that’s both delicious and aligned with your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (107g)
1.5 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, reduced fat (42g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (125g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (120ml)
2 oz Cooked Chicken Breast (56g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a lightly baked top or plan to finish in the oven.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the steamed cauliflower, unsweetened almond milk, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir to form a creamy base.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and diced cooked chicken breast until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
If you prefer a baked finish, transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish and bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is slightly golden. Alternatively, serve immediately as a creamy stovetop dish.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with a sprinkle of extra cheese if desired, and enjoy your protein-packed cauliflower mac.
