Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8oz) box of frilly protein pasta (like Loppdy Loops or Campanelle, gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup bone broth
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded, plant-based if needed)
- 1 (8oz) jar high protein pesto (plant-based if needed)
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts (or 3 chicken breasts)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breasts with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and chopped garlic cloves in a bag or bowl while the pasta cooks.
- Boil the protein pasta in heavily salted water according to the package directions, then strain and rinse well with hot water.
- In the pot, return the pasta, add a splash of bone broth, and cover to keep it hot.
- Grill the marinated chicken for 5-10 minutes per side, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then let rest for 5 minutes.
