INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast (85g)
1 cup Cauliflower (107g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (75g cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or microwave until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Dice the chicken breast into small, even pieces. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and nearly cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed cauliflower, and pasta. Stir in the Greek yogurt and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese along with dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat all ingredients in the creamy mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
