INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast, Cooked
1 cup Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni, Cooked
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Coat the broccoli florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt and roast on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the unsweetened almond milk with the reduced-fat cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese melts into a smooth, light sauce.
Mix the cooked pasta, diced chicken, and most of the roasted broccoli (reserve a few florets for garnish) in a baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the mixture and stir to combine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld.
Garnish with the reserved roasted broccoli florets and serve warm.
