INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (85g)
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (30g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1 tbsp Light Cream (15g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper, then cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, crisp the turkey bacon until it turns crispy. Remove, crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté briefly until fragrant. Lower the heat, then add the light cream and egg white, stirring continuously to create a silky, creamy sauce without scrambling the egg.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, pouring the sauce over the top, and gently combine with the garlic-infused cream. Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the pasta and chicken.
Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
