INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (107g)
1/4 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (28g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (62g)
1/4 cup Skim Milk (61g)
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you wish to finish your dish with a slight bake to meld flavors, otherwise proceed with stovetop preparation.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or with a potato masher, blend the steamed cauliflower with nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
While the sauce simmers, slice pre-cooked grilled chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Fold the chicken pieces into the cheesy cauliflower sauce, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
For an optional finish, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 5-7 minutes to create a lightly baked topping.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, comforting dish!
