Crispy Golden Mac and Cheese Bites
Baked chickpea pasta and shredded chicken are folded into a creamy, protein-packed cheese sauce and crisped to a golden perfection in a muffin tin.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
2 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
3 large Egg whites
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 tsp Avocado oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly coat a standard muffin tin with avocado oil.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta, shredded chicken breast, and shredded cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture until everything is thoroughly coated.
Spoon the mixture evenly into six prepared muffin cups, pressing down slightly to ensure they are packed.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the tops are firm to the touch and the edges have turned a deep golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bites rest in the tin for at least 5 minutes to set before carefully popping them out to serve.
