INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup chopped Broccoli
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
0.5 cup Low-Fat Milk
0.25 cup Light Cheddar Cheese
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in lightly salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until it's browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, dice or shred the chicken.
Steam or lightly sauté the chopped broccoli until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, and light cheddar cheese. Stir well to create a creamy sauce base. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
In a large baking dish, combine the cooked macaroni, chicken, and broccoli. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and stir gently to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
