INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 Tbsp Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Coat the chicken with whole wheat bread crumbs for a crispy texture.
Place the chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, chop the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and blend it with low-fat milk and shredded cheddar cheese until mostly smooth with small chunks for texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Heat the cauliflower mixture gently in a pan to melt the cheese and thicken the sauce slightly, stirring constantly.
Serve the crispy baked chicken alongside a generous serving of creamy, cheesy cauliflower 'mac' and cheese, and enjoy.
