Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are folded into a creamy, sharp cheddar sauce and topped with golden, toasted whole wheat breadcrumbs.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea elbow pasta
4 oz chicken breast
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions to keep it al dente.
Season the chicken breast with half of the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then pan-sear until fully cooked and dice into small cubes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and the remaining spices to create a thick sauce.
Drain the pasta and immediately toss it with the diced chicken and the cheese sauce until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish.
In a tiny bowl, stir the breadcrumbs and olive oil together, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pasta.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs have reached a beautiful golden hue.
