High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and shredded chicken breast baked in a velvety, protein-packed cheese sauce made with Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
4 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Ground flaxseed
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so it remains firm, then drain and set aside.
Cook the chicken breast by pan-searing or baking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta and shredded chicken into the yogurt cheese sauce until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the ground flaxseed over the top to create a nutritious crust.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the flaxseed topping is slightly golden and toasted.
