Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can use chicken stock in place of white wine if you wish, but the wine imparts a delicious flavour, and the dish wouldn't be the same for me without it.

Chopped chicken breast can also be added to this dish.

Cut down your prep time by omitting the onion and garlic, and adding MAGGI Cheesy Cauliflower Bake Recipe Mix with the cream in step 3.
