High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Baked chickpea pasta and roasted chicken breast folded into a velvety, melted cheddar sauce until bubbling and golden.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea elbow pasta
2.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cottage cheese
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp skim milk
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F 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 instructions suggest, then drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, skim milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard, processing until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast with the blended cottage cheese sauce and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a savory, golden crust.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted and slightly browned.
