Healthy Creamy Baked Macaroni with Chicken and Broccoli
A light yet satisfyingly creamy baked macaroni dish featuring tender chicken breast and crisp broccoli, subtly enriched with non-fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of low-fat mozzarella. This dish brings comforting flavors without compromising your calorie or protein goals.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup whole wheat macaroni (dry)
3 ounces chicken breast
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in boiling water according to the package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Once cooked, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Lightly steam or blanch the broccoli until it is slightly tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, diced chicken, broccoli, non-fat Greek yogurt, and shredded low-fat mozzarella. Stir gently to mix and coat all ingredients with the creamy yogurt mixture. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, serve warm, and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
