High-Protein Baked Chickpea Mac and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and shredded chicken baked in a creamy, golden Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar sauce for a comforting, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry chickpea pasta
3 oz cooked shredded chicken breast
0.25 cup cauliflower florets
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
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 for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it al dente, then drain.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, then finely chop them into rice-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, chopped cauliflower, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a small individual-sized baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
