INGREDIENTS
100g Chicken Breast
50g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 Egg
10g Shredded Parmesan Cheese
28g Frozen Peas
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-size pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in a small amount of water or olive oil alternative until fragrant.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink and starts to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they are heated through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and grated Parmesan cheese.
Reduce the heat to low and add the drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and peas. Slowly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, stirring continuously so the residual heat creates a creamy sauce without scrambling the egg. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve a smooth consistency.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, and serve immediately.
