INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/8 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooled slightly, dice into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, diced chicken, roasted broccoli, Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the oven at 400°F for an additional 8-10 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is melty.
Serve warm and enjoy your high-protein, creamy baked macaroni dish.
