High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Al dente chickpea pasta and tender shredded chicken are folded into a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce and baked until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
3 oz Shredded chicken breast
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very soft, then blend them with the Greek yogurt until completely smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cauliflower-yogurt puree, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Stir the cooked pasta and shredded chicken into the sauce until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Fold in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and a light dusting of smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned on top.
