Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Mac Bake with Crispy Topping
Enjoy a comforting twist on a classic bake with tender chicken, wholesome whole wheat macaroni, and crisp-tender broccoli mingled in a light, creamy sauce. Topped with a golden, crunchy cheese layer, this dish balances rich creaminess with fresh, vibrant flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooled slightly, shred or cube the chicken.
Lightly steam the broccoli florets until they are crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, nonfat Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well-mixed.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the topping is golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
