Keyword: Angel Chicken Pasta
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1- pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes (454g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt 5g
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2g
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 3g
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 5ml
  • 2 cups skim milk 480ml
  • 4 ounces angel hair pasta 100g
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 25g
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch 8g

Instructions

  • Season the chicken cubes thoroughly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  • Add the seasoned chicken cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
  • In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the skim milk and cornstarch until completely smooth with no lumps.
  • Add the milk mixture to the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate the flavorful browned bits from the chicken.
  • Break the angel hair pasta in half and add it to the simmering milk. Add the pasta gradually, spreading it in a fan pattern as you drop it in. This technique helps prevent the strands from clumping together. Stir gently with a fork to ensure even distribution.
  • Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally with a long-handled spoon or tongs, until the pasta is tender and the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and stir in half of the parmesan cheese until melted.
  • Serve immediately, topped with the remaining parmesan cheese.
