Deep-Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
Crispy air-fried balls of chickpea pasta and chicken breast, offering a golden-brown exterior and a creamy, cheesy center.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
0.75 oz Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 large Egg
0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Avocado oil spray
PREPARATION
Cook chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and finely chop.
Finely dice the cooked chicken breast until it resembles a coarse crumble.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pasta, diced chicken, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, and parmesan.
Season the mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then stir until well combined and sticky.
Form the mixture into 6 uniform balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg; in another bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each ball into the egg wash, then roll in panko until evenly coated.
Lightly coat the balls with avocado oil spray and place them in an air fryer basket at 375°F.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the exterior is golden and crispy.
