INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (cooked, roasted)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (reduced fat)
1 cup Broccoli (chopped)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the low-fat milk with the shredded cheddar cheese over low heat. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and you achieve a creamy sauce. If too thick, you can add a splash more milk.
Toss the chopped broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly crispy yet tender.
Combine the cooked macaroni, baked chicken pieces, and cheese sauce in an oven-safe dish. Gently fold in the roasted broccoli.
Place the dish back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors together. Serve warm and enjoy!
