Ingredients

3 cups cauliflower cut into florets
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs diced
3 ounces bacon lardons
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup white cheddar cheese shredded
2 green onions chopped
1 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8” oven-safe dish.
Add the cauliflower to a pot of boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and pour the cauliflower into the baking dish.
Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium/high heat. Add the diced chicken and lardons to the pan and cook through, about 5 minutes. Add the meat to the baking dish.
Next, heat the butter in the frying pan over a low/medium heat. Add the garlic, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper, plus half of the shredded cheddar. Stir until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the baking dish and stir to coat. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top of the dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Serve with green onions and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
