Enjoy a comforting bowl of baked mac and cheese with lean chicken, vibrant broccoli, and a crispy breadcrumb topping. This dish balances creamy, cheesy pasta with a delightful crunch, making it a wholesome treat for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup 2% Milk
1/2 cup chopped Broccoli
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tbsp Butter
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear until fully cooked. Once cooked, chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the milk and low-fat cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and a creamy sauce forms.
Combine the cooked pasta, chopped chicken, steamed broccoli, and cheese sauce in an oven-safe baking dish. Mix well to ensure even coating.
Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is crispy and the dish is heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, protein-packed meal.
