PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • 2

    Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.

  • 3

    Steam or lightly blanch the chopped broccoli until just tender but still vibrant, then set aside.

  • 4

    Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  • 5

    In a non-stick skillet, sear the chicken breast over medium heat (2-3 minutes per side) until lightly browned; it will finish cooking in the oven. Once seared, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  • 6

    In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk with the whole wheat flour. Whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a light sauce, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half of the reduced fat cheddar cheese until melted.

  • 7

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken pieces, steamed broccoli, and the creamy sauce. Mix until evenly coated.

  • 8

    Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top.

  • 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for an additional 2 minutes for a lightly golden top.

  • 10

    Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
