High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Al dente chickpea pasta and tender chicken breast baked in a creamy, velvety Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar sauce with steamed broccoli florets.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 oz chickpea elbow pasta
2.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup broccoli florets
0.5 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp smoked paprika
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest.
Add the broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly and return them to the warm pot.
Stir in the cooked chicken breast, Greek yogurt, half of the cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
