INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup steamed Broccoli
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 oz Cheddar Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Sear it in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. (It will finish cooking in the oven.)
Steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, and low-fat milk. Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese.
Place the seared chicken breast on top of the mixture in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour any remaining milk and cheese mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
