INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat elbow macaroni
1 cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp olive oil
3 oz cooked chicken breast, cubed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, low-fat cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chicken breast cubes, and the cauliflower sauce. Stir to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through and slightly golden on top.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
