Protein-Packed Baked Macaroni and Cheese Casserole
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast are baked in a creamy, golden cheese sauce made with Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar for a comforting, protein-rich meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.5 cup broccoli
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in a pot of salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and sauté in a skillet with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until cooked through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, and half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to create a thick sauce.
Fold the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, and finely chopped broccoli into the yogurt mixture until everything is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
