~ Gluten & Dairy Free ~
4 Servings
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
Dash of pepper and Himalayan Salt
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp potato starch
400ml of canned coconut milk
1 cup of diced canned tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 cups of fresh spinach
1 package gluten-free pasta
Optional: For a little heat garnish with crushed red pepper.
1) Bake or fry two chicken breasts or chicken alternative. Then cut cooked chicken into strips.
2) In a large frying pan, add coconut oil, and the onions, and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute then season with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.
​
3) Then, pour chicken broth (or vegetable broth) into the onion mixture. Once the broth is heated, about a minute, slowly whisk in the potato starch.
​
4) Stir in canned coconut milk, let the sauce thicken for a minute.
​
5) Next, lightly mash the diced canned tomatoes and add to the sauce.
​
6) Stir in the fresh basil and spinach.
7) Meanwhile, in a medium-sized pot bring water to a boil for pasta. Add pasta to water with a drop of olive oil and boil for 7 minutes.
​
8) Once the sauce and noodles are ready, divide the noodles and pour the sauce on top! Sprinkle crushed red pepper on top, if you wish, and serve warm.
​
Ready in less than 30 minutes.
Tips:
Make the chicken ahead of time and freeze it in individual containers or baggies.
If you can buy a large package of chicken, enough for a week or two. Then bake the plain chicken in the oven. Once it is cool, freeze it.
