Note for Veggies: Could also be made entirely primavera.
8oz penne pasta
3 tbsp minced garlic (or equivalent of garlic powder)
1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt, to taste
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables (recipe calls for 4oz quartered artichokes, 4oz sliced black olives, 6 asparagus spears and 5 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, chopped. I used 1 small yellow squash, 6 asparagus spears, and a handful of carrots)
Cook the pasta and drain, set aside. In a large skillet, sauté garlic and add chicken pieces until cooked. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet on medium-low heat melt cream cheese and milk, Parmesan and salt until smooth and creamy. Add chicken and veggies. Continue cooking on medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until asparagus is cooked to desired tenderness (I like my veggies crunchy so it only cooked for 10)
Serves 4
And the recipe comes pre-made with nutritional info! 371 calories, 4g fat, 27mg cholesterol, 26g protein, 760mg sodium, 56g carbs
This thing tastes really, really good. Seriously.
