INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 ounce Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/3 cup Skim Milk
1 cup Roasted Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the skim milk and stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce in a baking dish, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Toss the broccoli florets in olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Top the mac and cheese with sliced grilled chicken breast and arrange the roasted broccoli around it.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
