Yumbo! I subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream and added a head of broccoli as well. Mine needed 15 minutes less in the oven and was still over cooked -- my oven is fan assisted and I dropped the temperature to accommodate that. I think I would cook it at a lower temperature next time but the results were still very tasty and even the cauliflower disliker in the house was happy.

Super recipe!! Followed the seared chicken breast recipe. Subbed 24hr yogurt for the sour cream, a little almond butter for the cream cheese, zucchini chunks instead of cauli, carrot instead of red pepper, and parsley in place of basil. Omitted onion and garlic, used only 1c shredded cheddar. Also added in half a batch of soaked and cooked brown rice.

For some reason I missed that this had chicken in it, so I had cooked up ground beef to use instead. I cannot tell you how incredibly good this meal was. My husband and I both have not raved about a recipe like this in quite some time!

I was skeptical because I do not always like cauliflower. However, I wanted to try something new. I made it for Sunday lunch. I loved it, and all of my finicky eaters loved it. It is definitely on the Sunday lunch rotation. I made it with leftover Roasted whole chicken with lemon and herbs. I served it with regular linguine pasta for most, and with lentil pasta for those of us trying to watch our glycemic load. It went well with both. A side salad made it Sunday lunch special. Thank you for such a great recipe!

So yummy! I didn’t have the basil and this was great just the same. I substituted smoked turkey I had left over in freezer from Thanksgiving that I was going to use for tetrazzini, and it was great. And, I’m not normally a big black olive fan, but it was definitely added the right touch.
