BBQ Chicken Macaroni and Cheese
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce with a smoky BBQ swirl for a comforting and protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta shells
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp Sugar-free BBQ sauce
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, adding the broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes of boiling.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and season evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving 2 tablespoons of the hot pasta water.
Return the pasta and broccoli to the pot over low heat; stir in the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and the reserved pasta water until the cheese is completely melted and creamy.
Gently fold the cooked chicken into the pasta mixture and drizzle with the sugar-free BBQ sauce before serving immediately.
