Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 10.5 ounces low-fat cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 8 ounces whole wheat pasta (such as penne or rotini)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen mixed vegetables for 2-3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the boneless, skinless chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream of chicken soup, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta, mixed vegetables, and chicken to the bowl with the sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven, let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to set, and then serve warm. Enjoy!
