INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Macaroni
1/4 cup shredded Light Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup diced Carrot
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Whole Grain Mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken until cooked through, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Lightly steam or sauté the chopped broccoli and diced carrots until tender-crisp.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat milk, shredded light cheddar cheese, and whole grain mustard. Stir until well mixed.
Mix the cooked pasta, chicken, and veggies together in a baking dish. Pour the cheese-milk sauce over and gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the cheese is melted.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
