INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a portion of the mixed dried herbs. Lightly sear the chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes each side until just browned.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and shredded low-fat cheddar cheese. Mix in the cooked macaroni and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the seared chicken in a baking dish and spoon the creamy macaroni mixture around it.
In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with olive oil and remaining herbs. Sprinkle evenly over the creamy mixture.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
