Crispy Chicken Mac and Cheese Bowl
Air-fried chicken breast seasoned with smoky paprika served over whole-grain pasta tossed in a velvety, protein-packed cheese sauce with tender cauliflower florets.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1.5 oz whole wheat elbow pasta
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
PREPARATION
Toss the cubed chicken breast with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the chicken in an air fryer at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
Boil the whole wheat pasta according to package directions, adding the cauliflower florets to the boiling water during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, reserving 1 tablespoon of the cooking water.
In the same pot over low heat, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, almond milk, and reserved pasta water until a smooth sauce forms.
Fold the pasta and cauliflower back into the cheese sauce until well coated.
Transfer the mac and cheese to a bowl and top with the crispy air-fried chicken.
