Chicken and Cauliflower Bake - Delicious meal for the whole family to enjoy!

This Chicken and Cauliflower Bake recipe is a winning combo.. I swear!
When I hear cauliflower and cheese sauce together a little part of me dances I’m sure… but even I can get bored with it! So this is my new twist on old favourite, without even standing over a pot stirring white sauce.
