INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
3 oz Shrimp
2 egg whites
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Prepare by cooking whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel and devein the shrimp if not pre-prepared.
In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until lightly golden, approximately 4-5 minutes. Then add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the cooked spaghetti and baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Pour in the egg whites while stirring continuously to create a creamy texture that lightly coats the ingredients. Ensure the sauce warms gently without scrambling the egg whites.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately, enjoying the blend of savory chicken, shrimp, and the richness of the carbonara sauce.
