Description
A quick, high-protein pasta bowl featuring creamy pesto sauce and marinated chicken, ideal for simple meal preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8oz box frilly protein pasta
- ½ cup bone broth
- 1 egg
- ½ cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 1 8oz jar high protein pesto
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Marinate the 1.5 pounds chicken breasts with the 2 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 garlic cloves in a bag or bowl.
- Cook the 1 8oz box of frilly protein pasta in heavily salted water according to package directions.
- Strain the pasta and rinse well with hot water.
- Turn the stove off, return the pasta to the pot with a splash of bone broth, and cover it to keep it hot.
- Grill the marinated chicken for 5-10 minutes per side, or cook in a skillet until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let it rest 5 minutes after removing from heat.
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup parmesan cheese and 1 egg.
- Give the pasta a stir with another splash of bone broth over low heat.
- Once the pasta is easy to stir and smooth, stir in the cheese-egg mixture quickly to emulsify the egg.
- Add the 1 8oz jar high protein pesto and remaining ½ cup bone broth, stirring until smooth.
- Top the pasta with sliced chicken and serve.
Notes
- If your chicken is thick, slice it into thin pieces to cook faster.
- If the egg mixture scrambles slightly due to temperature, the dish will still taste good.
