INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 4
- 6 oz. wide noodles (I used the no-yolk egg noodles)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fat-free milk
- 1 tbsp grated Parm cheese (use the real stuff!) - maybe try jalapeno cheese instead????
- 2 cups cubed coked chicken breast
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped canned green chiles (I even put in two cans and it wasn't "zesty")
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tsp seasoned dried bread crumbs
DIRECTIONS
1. Cook noodles accordingly. Preheat oven to 375F. Spray 2-quart casserole dish.
2. Cook red onion in a bit of olive oil until soft. (This is the step I added because it was weird eating a "squishy" meal and then biting into a firm piece of onion - bleh!).
Transfer to bowl.
3. In med. saucepan, heat the oil. Sprinkle with flour; cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cheese; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in noodles, chicken, onion, chiles and mustard.
4.Transfer to the casserole dish; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake until browned and bubbling, 20-25 minutes.
Serves 4. Original Serving: 1 generous cup = 9 points

elisabeth, If you want more spice in this recipe substitute a few pieces of chopped jalapeño peppers for the green chiles. Jenni
