INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 150g)
3 ounces diced chicken breast (approx. 85g)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (approx. 56g)
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (approx. 120g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes, then roughly mash them slightly to create a 'mac' texture.
While the cauliflower steams, sauté the diced chicken breast in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, cooked chicken, shredded sharp cheddar, and non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and place it in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and flavors to meld.
Remove from oven, give a final stir, and serve warm.
