Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1.5 cups chicken breasts cooked and chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon of pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a pot, add the cauliflower and just about cover florets with water.
- Cook until the cauliflower can be pierced with a fork. Meanwhile, microwave the broccoli for 4 minutes.
- Add broccoli and chicken to a large bowl.
- When the cauliflower is done, strain but save the water in case your sauce is too thick.
- Add the cauliflower, olive oil, nutritional yeast and spices to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a bit of the cooking water to thin it out. You want it to be the consistency of a sauce and not mashed potatoes.
- Mix the cauliflower cream with the chicken and broccoli and spoon into a baking dish.
- Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
