Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese Bake
Baked chickpea pasta and chicken tossed in a creamy buffalo sauce, finished with a golden cheese crust and a zesty kick.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp ghee
2 tbsp buffalo hot sauce
0.5 cup cauliflower florets
1 stalk celery
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 and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions, adding the finely chopped cauliflower florets for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower well and set aside.
While the pasta is boiling, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and sauté in a skillet with the ghee over medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta, cauliflower, sautéed chicken, and diced celery into the buffalo sauce mixture until thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted into a savory, golden crust.
