Feeling great , each day even better I am now in the 180 numbers , that has thrilled me to no end!! My cooking has changed considerably...Just a short note for others who would like the taste of a good nutritious meal I changed my ingredients in this dish and it was delicious and NO-ONE in the family knew it had better ingredients! They loved it!This fed with leftovers a family of 4 ,3 of which are big boys LOL..
8 OZ of whole wheat penne pasta..
3 cups of fresh broccoli florets
6 5 oz pieces of boneless chicken breast i also cut the breast even smaller and froze the rest
1/2 cup of fat free cream cheese
1 hunts 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 hunts 4 oz can of tomato sauce
1/3 cup of basil an pesto
1 tbsp of EVOO
Cook your pasta according to package and then 2 minutes before cooking time is up add the broccoli to the pasta water , once 2 minutes is up drain the pasta and broccoli and set aside. in your fry pan brown the chicken pieces , just brown , don't want to cook through yet ,don't crowd the pan or you will be steaming and not getting the brown you want. once the chicken is browned add the diced an tomato sauce into the pan and cover an simmer 8 minutes . after 8 minutes take the chicken out and set aside now add your cream cheese and whisk gently till its all gone and Incorporated, then add your pesto and whisk again.Once its all Incorporated add your pasta and broccoli to pan and stir then add the chicken back in and heat up till all is warmed. Serve with a wonderful salad!
