Creamy Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety buffalo-spiced yogurt sauce with melted cheddar and steamed cauliflower for a zesty, comforting finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp buffalo hot sauce
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp green onions
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, adding the cauliflower florets during the last 3 minutes of boiling.
While the pasta and cauliflower cook, season the diced chicken breast with the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the seasoned chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and buffalo hot sauce until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower well, then return them to the warm pot over low heat and add the sautéed chicken.
Pour the buffalo-yogurt sauce over the mixture and sprinkle with the sharp cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and creates a velvety coating.
Transfer the creamy buffalo chicken mac to a bowl and garnish with the freshly sliced green onions before serving.
