High Protein Cheeseburger Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 lb Ground Chicken

  • 8 oz Banza Pasta Shells (I used Chickpea)

  • 2 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth

  • 2 Tbsp Pickle Juice

  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

  • 2 tsp Onion Powder

  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

  • For the Sauce & Cheese:

  • 1/4 Cup Sugar-Free Ketchup

  • 2 Tbsp Stone Ground Mustard

  • 1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard

  • 2 Tbsp Light Mayo

  • 2 Tbsp Relish

  • 6 oz Shredded Cheddar

  • Fresh Parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before browning both sides of the chicken and fully cooking.

  2. Add the onion powder and black pepper to the cooked ground chicken, followed by the pickle juice, Worcestershire, broth, and pasta. Stir to combine and submerge the pasta fully.

  3. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes until the pasta is almost fully cooked before removing from the heat and uncovering.

  4. Mix all the sauce ingredients except the cheese together while the pasta cooks. Fold the sauce into the pasta before doing the same with the cheese. You can either add all 6 oz of cheese or fold in 4 and save 2 oz for adding on top and broiling for 5 minutes.

  5. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy!
