Description

These Hidden Veggie Healthy Mac and Cheese Meal Prep Bowls are an easy, gluten free, make-ahead lunch to get your family to love veggies and they’re only 300 calories!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Raw Chicken Breast
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 cups Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 3 cups Cauliflower, Cut Into Florets
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
  • 2 containers (8 Oz. Size) Udi's Gluten Free Mac & Cheese
  • Baby Carrots, To Serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and bake until no longer pink inside, about 25–30 minutes.

Combine water and broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add cauliflower, cover and cook until fork tender, about 10 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender and golden brown. Transfer into a food processor.

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower into the food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.

Cook the mac & cheese according to package directions in the microwave. Peel back the plastic covering and divide the cauliflower mixture between the two trays, stirring in until well mixed. Season liberally with salt, tasting as you add it.

Divide the pasta between six 3-cup lunch containers. Slice chicken and divide between the containers. Finally, add some baby carrots to each container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 5 days.
