INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)
0.25 cup Light Cheddar Cheese
0.25 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
0.5 cup Broccoli (chopped)
0.25 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
0.5 tsp Dry Mustard Powder
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Prepare the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly blanch the chopped broccoli for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then set aside.
In a bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken breast with the macaroni and broccoli.
In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the low-sodium chicken broth over low heat. Stir in the light cheddar cheese and dry mustard powder until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the low-fat Greek yogurt until fully integrated. Season with black pepper.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken, macaroni, and broccoli mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and slightly bubbly on top.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
