INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup cooked Spinach
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the cooked spinach and stir for 1-2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, low sodium chicken broth, and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the cooked macaroni, diced chicken, and spinach mixture to the bowl. Stir to coat evenly with the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the cheese has slightly melted.
Remove from the oven, let stand for a few minutes, and serve warm.
