Baked High-Protein Macaroni and Cheese with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are folded into a velvety, protein-packed cheese sauce and topped with golden, crispy breadcrumbs.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
0.5 tsp Olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for two minutes less than the package instructions suggest, then drain.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very soft, then blend them with the Greek yogurt, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms.
In a mixing bowl, combine the par-cooked pasta and diced chicken breast with the cauliflower cheese sauce until thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil and sprinkle them over the cheese layer.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping is toasted and fragrant.
