2 cupschicken you can use pre-cooked grilled chicken or simply cook chicken in your instant pot
2 cups steamed broccoli
1box dreamfields pasta
1packageturkey baconyou can use regular bacon if you like, but I prefer turkey bacon
2 T.butter
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1egg
2t.garlic seasoning
2t.mineral salt
FP Carbonara (individual size):
1 wedgelight laughing cow cheese
1c. zoodles or spaghetti squash
1T.egg whites
Instructions
Cook chicken in an instantpot. Tenderloins cook up really quickly. Just use 8-10 tenderloins, cover with 2 cups of water & set your instant pot to poultry mode. It should be done in less than 20 minutes. You can also use pre-grilled chicken.
Lay out the turkey bacon on a pre-greased sheet pan & cook in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes or until the sides crisp up a bit.
Cook pasta according to box instructions.
Steam broccoli in the microwave by covering a microwave safe bowl with a wet paper towel. If is frozen broccoli, cook for 5 minutes and stir. Then cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Dice chicken once fully cooked.
Dice turkey bacon once fully cooked.
Dice broccoli once fully cooked.
As soon as the pasta is done cooking, strain out the water. Then immediately whisk in 1 egg. You must do this while the pasta is still hot so it cooks the raw egg.
Add parmesan cheese, butter, salt, & garlic.
Add the diced chicken, bacon, & broccoli.
Serve the dish all together in one bowl!
For FP Carbonara:
This recipe is for an individual, in case you want to have carbonara with your family but you'd rather sub out the pasta for zoodles (zucchini noodles) or spaghetti squash.
Save some diced bacon, broccoli, & chicken to the side.
Heat up zoodles or spaghetti squash. (I pre-make spaghetti squash when I plan this dish)
Whisk in 1 T. egg whites.
Add 1 wedge of light laughing cow cheese, a sprinkle of salt, garlic, & parmesan cheese from the green can.
Add in diced chicken, broccoli, & a small amount of turkey bacon.
You can enjoy carbonara as an FP meal this way :)
Notes
If you'd like to make a family size FP friendly meal using spaghetti squash simply substitute out the pasta with the squash, whisk in 1/4 c. of egg whites, & use 6 wedges of laughing cow cheese. Omit the butter & 1 egg.
