PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Begin by placing the broccoli florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

  • 2

    While the broccoli roasts, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bake or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  • 4

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and stir it with a small amount of milk to create a smooth slurry. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk, stirring continuously until the sauce starts to thicken.

  • 5

    Lower the heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until you achieve a creamy cheese sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 6

    Combine the cooked macaroni, diced chicken, and cheese sauce in a baking dish. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  • 7

    Place the combined dish in the oven for 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors together. Once done, serve the baked chicken mac and cheese with a side of roasted broccoli for a hearty and balanced meal.
