INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 slices Lean Bacon
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp Fresh Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, grill or pan-sear the 3 oz chicken breast until cooked through, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate pan, cook the lean bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble into small pieces, leaving a little bacon fat in the pan for flavor.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the whole wheat flour to the remaining bacon fat and stir to form a light roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the low-fat milk, stirring constantly until a smooth and slightly thickened sauce forms. Season the sauce with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Combine the drained pasta, cooked chicken, and crispy bacon in the pan with the sauce, stirring gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, and enjoy the creamy, savory flavors in every bite.
