| Garlic Cream Sauce Pasta with Chicken, Scallions & Cherry tomatoes |
(NOTE- I am not being sponsored or compensated in any way for this Dreamfield's mention).
Dreamfield's is a low-carb (only 5 g carb per serving) pasta that does not spike glucose levels like regular pasta. Even better...we can't taste any difference! This is one time we didn't have to sacrifice anything to make the healthier choice!
Now on to our version of this excellent pasta recipe!
 |
| Cherry Tomatoes & Scallions |
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box Dreamfield's spaghetti
5 T olive oil, divided
6 cloves finely chopped garlic
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
8-10 scallions, diced
3 T. butter
2-3 T. cream or half-and-half
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Put on salted water for the pasta. Pound out chicken breasts, salt and pepper both sides.
Heat 2T olive oil in large skillet. Add chicken and cook until 170 degrees, no longer pink in the middle (about 3-4 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate and allow to rest before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken rests, cook the pasta according to directions, drain and set aside.
In the same chicken skillet, add remaining 3T. olive oil and chopped garlic. Saute until soft, about 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer until the liquid is nearly evaporated, 2 minutes more.
Add scallions and cook until slightly softened, then add the butter and cream. Continue cooking until the butter has melted. Add the chicken (cut into bite sized pieces), heat through about 1 minute, then add the drained spaghetti. Toss to combine all the ingredients, season as needed.
The simplicity of the recipe did not prepare us for how great tasting this turned out to be. Even a person who doesn't like tomatoes found no reason to object to this delicious summer surprise.
Makes 6-8 servings.

Hi Bibi,
ReplyDeleteThanks...I do feel lucky! I'm glad the recipe sounds good...it actually is! We buy Dreamfields at our local Kroger. We're in a small town so I think it should be easy to find. I hope your friend likes KY, we're really a friendly bunch of folk! D
Wow, looks delish!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have Dreamfields in Canada. I'll gonna have to recommend it to my aunt and uncle coz they're both diabetic.
Hi Irene, I checked the Dreamfields website and they have a store lookup! All you have to do is put in your aunt & uncles zip code and you can see if Dreamfields is available in their area! Here is the link - http://www.dreamfieldsfoods.com/find-dreamfields-pasta.html

It was really good. My hubby doesn't normally eat tomatoes and he cleaned his plate on this one!
