INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and place it in a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded cheddar cheese, and Greek yogurt. Add a small amount of salt and pepper, stirring until evenly coated.
Spoon the creamy pasta mixture over the seasoned chicken breast in the baking dish.
Melt the butter and drizzle it lightly over the top of the pasta and chicken for added richness.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted into a creamy sauce.
While the chicken and pasta bake, spread the broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with a tiny bit of melted butter or olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.
Plate the baked chicken mac and cheese alongside the roasted broccoli and serve warm.
