Description

A creamy, cheesy delight with a spicy kick and healthy veggies!


Ingredients

🍗 1 lb chicken breast
🌶️ 6 jalapenos halved and seeds removed
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🥓 6 strips thick-cut bacon
🧀 1 ¼ cup cheddar cheese
🧀 8 oz cream cheese (⅓ less fat)
🥄 ½ cup light sour cream
🥛 ¼ cup low-fat milk
🌶️ 1 teaspoon cayenne
🥦 3 cups fresh cauliflower florets (cut into 1-inch pieces)


Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breast and jalapenos on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and salt. Place the bacon strips in a row on another baking sheet. Place both sheets in the oven and cook till the bacon and chicken are done, about 20-25 minutes. Mix ¾ cups of cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and paprika in a large mixing bowl. Once the chicken and bacon have cooked, crumble the bacon, shred the chicken, and dice the jalapenos. Keep the oven at 375. Add ¾ of your chopped jalapenos, all of the shredded chicken, and ¾ of the bacon to the cream cheese mixture. In a 9 x 12 baking dish, distribute cauliflower on the bottom. Top cauliflower with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle ½ cup of cheddar cheese, and the remaining jalapenos and bacon on top. Bake for 20 minutes or till golden brown.
