Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are baked in a velvety cheese sauce with vibrant broccoli florets for a wholesome twist on a classic comfort dish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz chicken breast
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.5 cup broccoli florets
0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest; add the broccoli florets during the final 2 minutes of boiling, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, pan-sear until fully cooked, and dice into small bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine the cooked pasta, broccoli, and diced chicken in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the yogurt sauce over the pasta mixture and stir in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until well combined.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly golden and bubbling.
