High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and shredded chicken baked in a velvety cottage cheese sauce with steamed broccoli and a sharp cheddar crust for a bubbly, golden finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea rotini pasta
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 cup Broccoli florets
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for approximately 2 minutes less than the package directions until al dente, then drain.
Steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, then finely chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper, blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta, shredded chicken breast, and chopped broccoli with the blended cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden.
