INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
50 g Whole Grain Pasta (dry)
1 cup Cauliflower
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Seasoned Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Lightly brush with olive oil and press the seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs onto the surface for a crispy coating.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning halfway for even crispiness.
While the chicken bakes, cook the whole grain pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower until very tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and transfer the cauliflower to a blender.
Add the unsweetened almond milk and blend the cauliflower until smooth. Stir in the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and continue mixing until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine the hot cooked pasta with the creamy cauliflower-cheese sauce, tossing well to coat evenly.
Slice the crispy chicken breast and serve it atop the cheesy pasta. Enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal!
