Creamy Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
A comforting twist on traditional mac and cheese featuring a silky butternut squash sauce blended with nonfat Greek yogurt and a touch of reduced fat cheddar, tossed with whole wheat pasta and tender grilled chicken breast. This dish delivers creamy texture, hearty flavors, and balanced nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1/2 cup Butternut Squash Puree
1/4 cup Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat a small skillet over medium heat and warm the shredded grilled chicken if desired, or toss it in later at room temperature.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the butternut squash puree until heated through.
Remove the puree from heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Combine the cooked macaroni, warm squash sauce, and chicken in a large bowl. Stir in the reduced fat cheddar cheese so that it melts gently with the residual heat.
Taste and adjust seasonings, then serve warm as a nourishing and balanced meal.
