PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F.

  • 2

    Cook whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, and grill or pan-sear until fully cooked. Let it rest, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

  • 4

    Lightly steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are just tender but still bright green. Set aside.

  • 5

    In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk the whole wheat flour with the low-fat milk to create a light roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.

  • 6

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and dried mustard until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  • 7

    Combine the cooked macaroni, chicken pieces, and broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Pour over the cheese sauce and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.

  • 8

    Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dish is heated through.

  • 9

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then serve and enjoy your creamy chicken and broccoli baked mac and cheese.
