Dairy-free Creamy Chicken Bake

I have been playing around lately with the Alfredo sauce to get this rich deep flavor of the original one but without the fully loaded with cheese and milk.

I wanted to get that creamy rich texture but I insist on not using any dairy in it.

so I wanted to make a rich, creamy classical Italian dish with no Parmesan cheese and is as irresistible as the cheesy one.

so I start Improvising!

it only requires few simple ingredients and is so easy and quick to do.

the unsweetened almond milk adds this creamy texture, and the cauliflower adds that thickness needed to the recipe with the tahini touch that adds the depth and savoriness to the recipe.

To add perfection to it I baked it in the oven with mushroom sauce and chicken!! & ohhhhh boy!!

the result was amazing!
