Enjoy a comforting bowl of baked pasta with tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and a creamy, light sauce that ties everything together. This dish is perfect for a wholesome dinner that feels indulgent but stays within your macro goals.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli, chopped
2 ounces Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Steam or lightly blanch the broccoli until just tender and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix the light cream cheese with a splash of warm water or milk to create a slightly thinner, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, steamed broccoli, and cream cheese sauce. Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top, and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
