Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli
A comforting, creamy baked mac and cheese elevated with tender chicken and vibrant broccoli. This dish blends wholesome pasta, lean protein, and crisp vegetables in a rich, cheesy sauce for a satisfying meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Elbow Macaroni
1/2 cup Broccoli Florets
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 tsp Dry Mustard Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then dice or shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Lightly steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chicken, broccoli, low-fat milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and dry mustard powder. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top for extra cheesiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the top starts to bubble.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
