INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (cooked)

2 tablespoons Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Chicken Broth
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Boil water and cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the cream sauce over the chicken.
Scatter the broccoli and spinach around the chicken in the dish. Top with the cooked macaroni, gently mixing it with the veggies.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
