Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the cauliflower and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. You want it to be tender enough to poke with a fork, so keep an eye on it.
Once the cauliflower is soft, use a fine-mesh strainer or slotted spoon to carefully remove it from the water and transfer it to a blender. This is where the magic begins!
Add the milk, cheddar cheese, butter, salt, and garlic powder to the blender with the cauliflower. Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy. The mixture should have a luscious texture that you can’t resist.
Meanwhile, with the same pot of boiling water, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. It’s essential to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the chicken and give it a good stir to combine.
Now, it’s time to add that amazing cheese sauce you just blended. Pour it into the pot with the pasta and chicken. Stir carefully until everything is well coated with that creamy goodness.
At this point, you can decide how much sauce you’d like to use. Some might prefer a lighter coating, while others will want every noodle drenched in that cheesy sauce.
Serve warm, and if your family prefers, you can set aside some of the chicken to serve on the side. It’s all about personal preference!
Enjoy your delicious Creamy Chicken Pasta with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
