INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with the olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, toss the cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk with the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and forms a light sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Chop the baked chicken into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, roasted cauliflower, and cooked macaroni. Pour the cheese sauce over and gently toss to coat evenly.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, high-protein twist on a classic mac dish.
