Healthy Creamy Chicken and Vegetable-Infused Pasta in 30 Minutes – Gastritis and CSID Friendly


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:

  1. Prepare the pasta:
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water for later use.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve warm. If tolerated, add a sprinkle of parmesan or extra nutritional yeast on top.
