Enjoy a comforting dish featuring tender, baked chicken paired with whole wheat macaroni in a light, creamy sauce enhanced by a hint of tang from Greek yogurt. Roasted broccoli adds a delightful crunch and vibrant flavor, making this a balanced and satisfying meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, quickly sear the chicken over medium-high heat until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, and low-fat cheddar cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked macaroni with sliced or shredded baked chicken, then stir in the creamy sauce. Pour the mixture back into the baking dish.
Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Put the chicken macaroni back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors, if desired.
Plate the creamy baked chicken macaroni with a side of roasted broccoli. Enjoy your balanced and satisfying meal!
