Time: 30 minutes / Servings: 7
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups almond milk (non-sweetened) or lite coconut milk
- 3 cups baby spinach or arugula
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 ½ cups short pasta
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes or cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- A pinch of ground pepper
For those on Dialysis watching their potassium levels, substitute sun-dried tomatoes for cherry tomatoes cut in half and spinach for arugula.
If you don’t have Italian seasoning handy, use ¼ teaspoon of the following dry seasonings: basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the packaging.
- Chop the chicken into small 1-inch pieces and place it into a bowl. Stir in the oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Stir in the tomatoes of choice and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk milk and flour until there are no lumps.
- Pour the milk mixture over the cooked chicken in the pan and mix well. Allow the sauce to cook and bubble for a few minutes to thicken.
- Add the spinach or arugula once the sauce is done, and stir until wilted.
- Add cooked pasta together with grated parmesan and enjoy!
