INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Green Peas (cooked)
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup 2% Cream
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the 2% cream and stir to create a light, creamy garlic sauce. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked peas to the skillet and stir until evenly heated through.
Combine the drained pasta with the sauce, then toss in the sliced chicken and crumble or chop the crispy turkey bacon.
Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley over the dish and adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
