Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Baked chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are folded into a creamy, velvety cheese sauce and finished with a golden, crisp panko topping.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
4 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions until al dente; drain well.
While the pasta cooks, dice the pre-cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the cheese mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish or ramekin.
In a tiny bowl, stir the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the panko mixture over the top of the pasta.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is beautifully golden and crisp.
