INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup chopped Cauliflower
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 small Onion (minced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet and dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and softened, then add the chopped cauliflower. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften.
In a bowl, mix together the nonfat Greek yogurt and low-fat milk to create a creamy sauce. Combine this mixture with the sautéed vegetables and chicken. Stir in the cooked macaroni and fold gently to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
