Do you ever need to fulfill that craving, cure your cold, or get rid of that hangover? We all know that comfort foods work miracles, and now we've found the perfect recipe that's simply delicious but won't compromise all of your hard work at the gym: Wholesome Mac & Cheese!
What you'll need:
- 1 package of broccoli florets
- 1 box wheat pasta shells
- 3 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 T Smart Balance butter
- 2 T flour
- 4 C skim milk
- 2 C cheese- we used shredded Cheddar & Mozzarella
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Chives
What to do:
Cook broccoli as directed and drain (about 7 minutes). Bake chicken in olive oil, salt, & pepper at 400 (about 30 minutes) and cut into cubes. Cook pasta as directed and drain (about 10 minutes). Once these 3 portions are ready, combine in large serving bowl and toss with olive oil, salt & pepper. This should be heated for about 1 minute in microwave just before adding sauce. Melt butter in large saucepan and add flour, stirring constantly (about 2 minutes). Add milk, allow to boil, then reduce to simmer (about 10 minutes), stirring often. Add cheese and stir until smooth. Pour on top of pasta and toss with salt & pepper to taste. Top with chives and serve*
