Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces whole wheat elbow noodles
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 3 fresh carrot
  • 3 fresh celery stalks
  • 1 fresh yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp fresh garlic
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 4 cups low-fat milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 5 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 3/4 cup blue cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until barely tender, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
  • Heat oil in the pot over medium heat. Slice the carrots and celery. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk cornstarch and milk in a medium bowl; add to the pot along with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until bubbling and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in hot sauce.
  • Spread the noodles in a 9-by-13-inch (or similar 3-quart) baking dish. Top with the chicken mixture; sprinkle with blue cheese.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
