INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Cooked Broccoli
0.5 cup Low-Fat Milk
0.25 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
0.25 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and slice into bite-size pieces.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Sprinkle whole wheat flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the low-fat milk, ensuring that the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Add the cooked pasta, chicken pieces, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir in the low-fat mozzarella cheese until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
Allow the pasta bake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
