Creamy Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Crispy Chicken
Enjoy a modern twist on a comfort classic by swapping pasta for tender cauliflower florets and topping it with a crispy, lightly breaded chicken breast. The dish is finished with a luscious, cheesy sauce blended with Greek yogurt for creaminess, delivering a satisfying meal that perfectly balances textures and flavors.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (~85g)
1.5 cups Cauliflower (~150g)
0.75 oz Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (~21g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~60g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~15g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (~5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then lightly coat it with the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Place the breaded chicken in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender. Add the nonfat Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheddar cheese, then blend until smooth, forming a creamy sauce.
Combine the crispy chicken with the creamy cauliflower sauce on a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting, guilt-free twist on classic mac and cheese.
