Crispy Golden Mac and Cheese Bites
Air-fry these protein-rich whole wheat pasta bites bound with a creamy Greek yogurt and cheddar sauce for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz ground chicken breast
0.25 cup dry whole wheat elbow pasta
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
0.5 cup riced cauliflower
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly grease the basket with the olive oil.
Boil the whole wheat elbow pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken breast, cooked pasta, riced cauliflower, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and the egg, then season with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well incorporated.
Scoop the mixture into 1.5-inch balls, pressing firmly so they hold their shape.
Place the bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is golden and the chicken is fully cooked.
