INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
2 tablespoons Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 cup sliced Mushrooms
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until just cooked through, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the sautéed chicken, cooked pasta, fresh spinach, and sliced mushrooms.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes. The edges should be bubbly and the top slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
