I found this recipe in a booklet I picked up at the grocery store. I adapted it to a lower sodium recipe because the original recipe had 1000 mg. of sodium. Which I think is an insane amount of sodium.

Time 35m

Yield 1 1/2 Cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
1 lb asparagus spear, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 in. piece
8 ounces fettuccine pasta, whole wheat is preferred
2 cups unsalted chicken stock
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons lemon peel, grated, fresh

Steps:

  • Steam carrots and asparagus together until tender. Try not to overcook. Keep warm.
  • Cook the whole wheat fettucine according to package directions. Try to time this to get done when the chicken is done cooking.
  • Blend together the chicken stock, corn starch, lemon pepper and garlic powder in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook chicken breast strips until no longer pink. Approximately 8 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken stock mixture into pan and boil until it starts to thicken. Add in the fettucine, asparagus, and carrots. Stir well.
  • When all combined stir in the basil and lemon peel. Cook an additional minute. And serve.
  • You can sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of each serving if desired. Just know that the parmesan is not figured into the nutrition info listed.
