Creamy High-Protein Mac and Cheese with Honey-Garlic Chicken Breast
Savor a delicious twist on classic mac and cheese paired with tender, honey-garlic glazed chicken breast. This dish combines the comfort of smooth, creamy pasta with the bright, savory flavors of marinated chicken, creating a balanced meal perfect for a filling dinner.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Honey
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if pan-searing.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breast evenly with this marinade.
For oven cooking: Place the chicken breast on a lined baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes until fully cooked. For stovetop: Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat cheddar cheese into the warm pasta until a creamy sauce forms. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve it atop or alongside your creamy high-protein mac and cheese.
Enjoy your nutrient-packed, comforting meal!
