Creamy Protein-Packed Baked Macaroni
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are folded into a velvety, protein-rich cheese sauce and baked until the golden crust is perfectly bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea elbow pasta
2.5 oz cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup broccoli florets
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for approximately 2 minutes less than the package instructions to ensure it remains al dente after baking.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the hot cooking water to help create a smooth sauce.
Fold the cooked pasta, diced chicken breast, and steamed broccoli into the yogurt mixture, adding the reserved pasta water as needed for desired creaminess.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, then transfer everything into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are slightly golden and bubbling.
