Creamy Chicken and Cauliflower Mac Bake
A comforting, creamy bake that combines tender chicken breast, lightly steamed cauliflower, and whole wheat pasta enveloped in a velvety, low-fat cheese sauce. Perfect as a nutritious dinner that feels indulgent but stays within your macro goals.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Lightly steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until just tender. Roughly chop if desired.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and shred or dice the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken, and cauliflower. Stir in the light cream cheese until evenly mixed; the residual heat will help melt the cheese slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm.
