INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1 cup Cauliflower (steamed and pureed)
1/4 cup shredded Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower until very tender (about 10 minutes). Blend the steamed cauliflower with the garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth to form a creamy sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, diced chicken, and cauliflower sauce. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, then add the whole wheat breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.
