Baked chickpea pasta and chicken breast are tossed in a creamy, velvety cheese sauce for a comforting meal with a satisfying golden crust.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
2.5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup broccoli florets
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tbsp almond flour
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until just underdone (al dente), then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta, diced cooked chicken breast, and steamed broccoli florets into the yogurt mixture until everything is thoroughly coated in sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, toss the almond flour with the olive oil, then sprinkle this mixture along with the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the pasta.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the almond flour topping has reached a golden, crispy texture.
