Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast baked in a creamy, velvety cauliflower-cheese sauce for a protein-packed comfort meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
3 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
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 Unsweetened almond milk
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions, but drain 1 minute early to keep it al dente.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very soft, then place them in a blender with the Greek yogurt, almond milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Blend the sauce until completely smooth and creamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced cooked chicken breast, and the cauliflower sauce.
Fold in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar and the parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden.
