INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
0.5 cup Butternut Squash
1 tablespoon Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Cut butternut squash into small cubes, toss with a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender.
Season the lean chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Bake or grill until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, roasted butternut squash, and diced chicken.
Stir in the low-fat cream cheese until evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish.
Top the dish with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving to enjoy its creamy texture and balanced flavors.
