This recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that’s perfect for those looking for a low-carb option. The Miracle Pasta are a great substitute for traditional pasta and add virtually no calories or carbs to the dish.
Ingredients:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (or other cut of chicken)
- 1 package of Miracle Pasta (Fettuccine or your preferred style)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil spray
- 1/4 cup chicken stock (low-sodium preferred)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- Grated cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken (Optional): You can marinate the chicken in your favorite marinade for added flavor. If you choose to marinate, do so for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is grilling, rinse the Miracle Pasta according to package instructions. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil spray in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli, red pepper, and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rinsed Miracle Pasta between two bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a splash of chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Optional Toppings: For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the vegetables. Fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated cheese make a lovely finishing touch.
Tips:
- You can use any type of vegetables you like in this recipe. Other good options include asparagus, zucchini, or mushrooms.
