@kalejunkie High Protein Smoky Chicken Chili Crisp Pasta Salad 🥳 This protein-packed pasta salad is bursting with flavor! It’s loaded with veggies, topped with smoky chicken and all tossed in a creamy dressing to bring it all together! I’m using a high protein pasta, but use what you have/like! Macros: ~56g p • ~43g c • ~9g f Be sure to FOLLOW me @kalejunkie for more easy, protein-forward recipes! ♥️ Makes 6 servings Dressing 1 cup cottage cheese (fat free or low fat) 1 tb maple syrup 2 cloves garlic 3 tb rice vinegar 1 lime 1 tb chili crisp or salsa macha Water if needed to thin Blackened chicken 1 lb chicken tenders 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp cumin S&P Salad 12 oz pasta of choice (using @pastagarofalo high protein pasta) 4 persian cucumbers, diced 1 cup shredded red cabbage 1 cup shelled edamame 1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced First, boil your pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and set aside. Then make the dressing. In a small blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth; taste and adjust and set aside. Next, make the blackened chicken. Dry the chicken tenders and seasoned with the seasonings. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan lightly with oil spray. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken tenders and do not disturb them for about four minutes, then flipped to the other side. Remove from the heat once fully cooked through. Chop into bite-size pieces and set aside. Finally, chop all of your vegetables and add them to a large bowl. Add the cooked pasta and chicken. Tossed with the dressing and enjoy! #pastasalad #highproteinrecipes
