Ingredients
- 8 cups cauliflower florets steamed or boiled to fork tender
- 2 cups cooked boneless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite size pieces
- 1 3/4 heavy cream or half and half
- 2 tablespoons all purpose white flour
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degees. Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Cut cauliflower into bite size florets. Either steam for 4 minutes or boil for 4-5 minutes until cauliflower is fork tender. Careful not to overcook, as it will continue to cook in the oven. DRAIN WELL. After draining spread cauliflower out on two sheets of paper towels to let all excess moisture evaporate.
- Cut cooked chicken into one inch pieces.
5 Minute Alfredo Sauce
- Heat cream in sauce pan over medium high heat until simmering.
- In small bowl combine cheese, flour and ground fresh black pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium and add cheese mixture to hot cream whisking until smooth and no lumps appear. About 2 minutes
- Add cooked cauliflower and chicken to prepared baking dish. Pour Alfredo Sauce over and toss. Taste for salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until edges are bubbling and just starting to brown. Allow to cool 10 minutes to thicken up sauce before serving.
Notes
Like a little garlic in your sauce? Simply saute up a couple chopped cloves in a tablespoon of butter and add the cream in!
