INGREDIENTS
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
3 oz Chicken Breast (cooked, diced)
1 cup Broccoli (chopped)
1/3 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Light Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the cooked diced chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the low-fat milk, light Greek yogurt, and whole wheat flour. Warm over medium heat until slightly thickened, stirring continuously to create a light sauce.
Mix the cooked macaroni, chicken, and chopped broccoli in a medium bowl. Pour the sauce over the mixture, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
