INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
1/4 cup Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken by either cooking it ahead of time or using pre-cooked chicken, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat macaroni, shredded chicken, nonfat milk, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in the reduced fat cheddar cheese ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Stir in the broccoli florets gently to maintain some texture.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are lightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
