PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken by either searing in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or baking in the oven until fully cooked. Once done, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  • 3

    Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • 4

    In a small saucepan, gently warm the butternut squash puree over low heat. Stir in the low-fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat cheddar cheese until the cheeses begin to melt and form a creamy sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  • 5

    Combine the shredded chicken, cooked macaroni, and squash sauce in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed.

  • 6

    Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
