INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake or pan-crisp it until fully cooked, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, whisk together whole wheat flour and unsweetened almond milk over medium heat to create a light roux. Slowly add nonfat Greek yogurt and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Combine the cooked pasta, creamy sauce, chopped crispy chicken, and steamed broccoli in a baking dish. Mix well to ensure even coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your balanced, creamy meal!
