Chicken and Fettucini Carbonara
about 10 boneless skinless chicken breast tenderloins
about 1/3 pkg to turkey bacon
one box of whole wheat fettucini (I use a homemade recipe that is 1 cup of egg whites, 2 cups white whole wheat flour, and 2 cups multigrain flour.)
about 2 cups skim milk
about 2 Tbsp each, EVOO and spray butter
garlic powder
onion powder
black pepper
flour
about half a cup parmesan cheese (green can)
about 1/4 cup good hard Italian cheese, like parmesano reggiano or asiago, shaved
optional, couple of Tbsp low fat bleu cheese crumbles
Spray frying pan with PAM. Fry bacon til crisp. Remove from pan.
Saute chicken in pan, season with pepper, til cooked thru.
Place milk, spray butter, olive oil and about 2 Tbsp AP flour in a micro safe bowl. Microwave in short intervals til thickened, stirring frequently. Makes a white sauce, essentially.
Stir green can parmesan and bleu cheese into white sauce. Add onion powder and garlic powder to taste. I like a dash of nutmeg, too.
Cook pasta.
Drain, add alfredo sauce.
Top with chicken breasts, shaved hard parm, and crumble bacon over top. Serve immediately.
Sorry, I don't have calorie counts, but the whole wheat high protein pasta is healthy, the chicken is essentially fat free protein, and the sauce has calcium and almost no fat. My family loved it.
Now this sounds fantastic! Even using store bought pasta .. they have a couple of very acceptable whole grain brands now..I think this will be a "company" dish. I can't wait to try it.
