This recipe combines tender, seasoned chicken with a sauce made from low-fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar, blended with lightly steamed cauliflower and whole wheat pasta for a satisfying, nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower (chopped)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
Meanwhile, steam or microwave chopped cauliflower until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Lightly mash the cauliflower to create a creamy texture.
In a bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with Greek yogurt and low-fat cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked whole wheat macaroni into the cauliflower mixture to combine evenly.
Place the seared chicken breast in a baking dish. Spoon the creamy cauliflower mac mixture around and on top of the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
