Ingredients
- 16 oz bag of cauliflower, thawed
- 3 Tbsp stick margarine
- 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 Tbsp chicken seasoning
- 2 1/2 tsp stick margarine
- 2 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 1/4 cups 2% milk, can use regular milk
- 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
- 1/4 tsp salt
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet, large enough to hold the chicken, melt margarine over medium heat.
Add chicken and sprinkle with chicken seasoning; stirring well to coat. Cook until no longer pink and slightly browned. Set aside.
To make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt margarine over medium/low heat.
Add flour and cook until lightly browned. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until slightly thickened.
Stir 1 1/2 cups cheese into milk. To get the desired thickness or thinness, you might want to add a bit more milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, add cauliflower, chicken, and cheese sauce. Then pour into a greased 2-quart pan.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
