Ingredients

  • 6 oz No Yolk Noodles - (egg free egg noodles)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast - (cooked and shredded)
  • 12 oz fresh broccoli florets - (chopped)
  • 1 large shallot - (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves of garlic - (minced)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup fat free milk
  • ½ cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese - (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp almond meal
  • 4 slices lean turkey bacon - (cooked and finely chopped)
  • 1 cup fat free chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook noodles in water until al dente (mildly undercooked). Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in the broccoli and garlic. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, and sauté until broccoli is slightly tender, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to bowl with noodles.
  • Preheat oven to 400 and mist a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir in shallot, and cook until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Turn heat down to medium low, and whisk in flour. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Now turn heat up to medium and slowly whisk in the chicken broth until well combined. Then stir in the milk, and bring to a boil. Let simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened - about 7-8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in the cheese. Mix thoroughly, allowing the cheese to melt.
  • Add chicken and sauce to the large bowl with the noodles and broccoli. Pour entire mixture into prepared casserole dish. In a small bowl, mix together the almond meal and bacon bits, then sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
