Smoky BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta are tossed with steamed cauliflower in a creamy, smoky cheddar sauce that feels incredibly indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 cup cauliflower florets
2 tbsp sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp BBQ sauce
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water during the last 3 minutes of pasta cooking time.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the diced chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Return the pasta and cauliflower to the pot over low heat; stir in the Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and reserved water.
Fold in the cooked chicken and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is velvety.
