Mixed up this recipe a little while ago when I was craving some of the all american favorite mac n' cheese.
Ingredients:
(1) Box of 100% Whole Grain Elbow Shaped Noodles
(2) Packets of Powdered Cheese from Mac n' Cheese Box
(1) Large grilled chicken breast
1/2 Cup Skim Milk
This one is pretty simple. I bought some of the cheap generic mac n' cheese and then just took out the powdered cheese packets since this type seems to mix better than any real cheese. You could use fat free mozarella if you were really trying to keep things clean.
Directions:
1. Boil noodles until soft.
2. Strain noodles and then return them to the pot.
3. Add 1 packet powdered cheese.
4. Add 1/2 cup skim milk
5. Add other packet powder cheese.
6. Stir / Turn until evenly distributed.
7. Add grilled chicken
8. Eat.
Simple recipe that took maybe 5 minutes to prepare and made a good 7 servings for under $10 total. Tastes great and will take care of that craving right away.
Very low in fat (less than 3 grams / serving), Carbs is around 45 grams / serving with less than 10 grams sugar and about 15-20 grams protein per serving.
