PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.

  • 2

    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear until cooked through. Once done, dice into bite-sized pieces.

  • 3

    Prepare the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions; drain and set aside.

  • 4

    Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender.

  • 5

    In a small saucepan, whisk together the whole wheat flour and low-fat milk until smooth. Gradually stir in the chicken broth over medium heat to form a light roux, allowing it to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.

  • 6

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until just melted, then add the chicken pieces, broccoli, and cooked pasta. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  • 7

    Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned on top.

  • 8
