INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper, then cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Allow to cool slightly and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked macaroni with the shredded chicken, fresh spinach, low-fat cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
