1 Egg White
1/4 cup Skim Milk

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, egg white, and skim milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika into the creamy mixture.
Mix in the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken breast, and half of the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is bubbly and the cheese on top is slightly golden.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
