Macaroni Bake with Creamy Cheesy Sauce and Roasted Vegetables
A comforting bake that combines whole-grain macaroni with a creamy, cheesy sauce and a medley of roasted vegetables, all elevated by lean grilled chicken breast. Enjoy the interplay of tender pasta, crisp roasted veggies, melted low-fat cheese, and savory chicken in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked whole-grain macaroni
3 ounces grilled chicken breast
1/2 cup roasted broccoli
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper
1/2 cup roasted zucchini
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in whole wheat flour to create a light roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the skim milk and continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole-grain macaroni, grilled chicken breast (sliced or shredded), and roasted vegetables (broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini).
Pour the creamy cheesy sauce over the pasta and vegetable mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
