Healthy Baked Mac with Chicken and Crispy Broccoli
Enjoy a light yet satisfying baked mac dish featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat macaroni, and roasted crispy broccoli, all topped with a hint of low-fat cheese. This comforting meal balances wholesome ingredients with a burst of flavor and a crisp texture from the broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup chopped Broccoli
0.5 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, sear the chicken on medium heat until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
Blanch the chopped broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes, then shock in ice water to retain color. Drain well.
Mix the cooked macaroni and blanched broccoli, then pour over the chicken in the baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the broccoli to help achieve a crispy texture.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve immediately.
