INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup shredded Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side, then slice or shred it.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Mix in the barbecue sauce into the creamy cheese mixture to create a tangy, smoky protein sauce.
In a separate pot, heat the already-cooked whole wheat macaroni until warm. Alternatively, reheat leftover macaroni gently in a microwave or stovetop skillet.
Combine the warm macaroni with the creamy barbecue cheese sauce and top with shredded chicken.
Gently toss all components together until evenly coated and serve immediately.
