Protein-Packed Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are folded into a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce and topped with golden, toasted breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
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 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest, then drain.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the diced cooked chicken breast into the yogurt mixture.
Add the par-cooked pasta to the bowl and toss until every noodle is thoroughly coated in the cheese sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a tiny bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the extra virgin olive oil, stirring until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pasta.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are a deep golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken.
