Ingredients

    6 oz whole-wheat elbow noodles
    1 Tbsp canola oil
    1 1/2 medium carrots, sliced
    1 1/2 medium stalks celery, sliced
    1/2 large onion, chopped
    1 Tbsp minced garlic
    1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
    2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
    2 cups skim milk
    1/8 tsp salt
    2 1/2 Tbsp hot sauce
    1/4 cup reduced fat crumbled blue cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Bring a saucepan 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 a pot over medium heat. 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
