INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1 oz Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the chicken breast in the skillet until fully cooked and golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the nonfat milk and nonfat cottage cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly warmed.
Add the reduced-fat cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted; adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Mix the cooked macaroni and chicken pieces into the cheese sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy high-protein mac and cheese with chicken.
