INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta (dry)
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/8 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of lightly salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Steam or lightly sauté the broccoli until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
In the skillet with the chicken, pour in the low-fat milk and stir to create a light creamy sauce. Mix in the steamed broccoli.
Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken, broccoli, and sauce mixture. Transfer everything into an oven-safe baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
