Servings: 2
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 oz chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for gentle digestion)
- 8 oz pasta (e.g., rice or corn-based, low-FODMAP)
- 1/4 cup zucchini (peeled and finely grated or pureed)
- 1/4 cup carrot (steamed and blended)
- 1/4 cup baby spinach (pureed with a bit of water)
- 1/2 cup lactose-free cream or coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory and gentle on the stomach)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the pasta:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water for later use.
- Cook the chicken:
- Slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, season lightly with salt, and cook until golden brown and cooked through (~5-7 minutes). Set aside.
- Make the vegetable sauce:
- In a small pan, warm the pureed spinach, zucchini, and carrot over low heat. Add the lactose-free cream or coconut milk and stir until smooth.
- Combine everything:
- Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the vegetable sauce. If the mixture seems too thick, stir in reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in turmeric for added anti-inflammatory benefits, and optional nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- Serve:
- Serve warm. If tolerated, add a sprinkle of parmesan or extra nutritional yeast on top.
