INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Chicken Breast (≈100g)
1 cup chopped Cauliflower (≈107g)
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni (≈140g)
1/4 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (≈61g)
1/4 cup shredded Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (≈28g)
1/8 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (≈10g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken breast and cook until lightly browned and nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the meantime, steam or lightly blanch the chopped cauliflower until just tender.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat macaroni, cooked cauliflower, and diced chicken breast. Stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-sodium chicken broth, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden and the dish is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
