Creamy Cauliflower Mac and Cheese with Crispy Chicken
Enjoy a reimagined comfort dish that pairs a creamy, cheesy cauliflower sauce mixed with a hint of whole grain pasta, topped with crispy, golden-baked chicken breast pieces. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch and a rich, savory flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup cooked Whole Grain Elbow Pasta
1/4 cup shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tablespoon Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 8-10 minutes). Drain well.
In a blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Warm the cooked whole grain elbow pasta briefly in a pan. Toss it with the cauliflower cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Slice or shred the baked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Mix the chicken into the pasta and sauce mixture.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy finish. Optional: You can place the dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs lightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy cauliflower mac and cheese with crispy chicken.
