Golden Macaroni and Cheese Bites
Crispy air-fried pasta bites made with protein-rich chickpea noodles and savory minced chicken, blended into a velvety cheese sauce for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Finely mince the cooked chicken breast until it reaches a ground consistency.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced chicken, Greek yogurt, grated cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold the cooked pasta into the chicken and cheese mixture until well combined.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape.
Scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Lightly coat the balls with avocado oil and place them in an air fryer at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
