High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast tossed in a creamy, velvety cheese sauce, topped with golden-brown toasted breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp nutritional yeast
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions, then drain well.
In a small pan over medium heat, combine the olive oil and panko breadcrumbs, stirring until they are golden and fragrant.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast to the bowl, folding gently until every piece is coated in the cheese sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and distribute the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the topping is perfectly crisp.
