High-Protein Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Baked chickpea pasta and chicken breast folded into a velvety Greek yogurt cheese sauce and topped with a golden parmesan crust.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
3 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, then finely chop or mash them to create a smooth texture for the sauce.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded sharp cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir the cooked pasta, chopped chicken breast, and mashed cauliflower into the yogurt mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese and smoked paprika for a smoky, golden finish.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are slightly crisp.
