Chicken "Noodles" and Sauce

Seriously Yummy, this reminds me of the Lipton or Knorr pouches that make pasta in a buttery chicken flavored sauce. We always add grilled chicken for a quick meal. Without the chicken and butter required those meals came came in at 5 PointsPlus per servomg and didn't satisfy my hunger for long.

This makeover is just as good and I feel full for hours after eating it. My new thing is shredded zucchini in place of noodles. Heated in the microwave for just a minute they have the mouth feel of al dente pasta without all the carbs.



Chicken "Noodles" and Sauce
1 large Zucchini
95 grams Chicken - Boneless Breast (Grilled without skin or bone)
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Chicken Base
1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss

Wash and cut the ends off the zucchini.

Cube the grilled chicken.

Shred the zucchini in the Cuisinart and microwave it for 1 minute.

When the time is up, heat the chicken for about 45 seconds.

While the chicken is in the microwave, and the zucchini is still quite hot, mix the laughing cow wedge and chicken base into the zucchini. They will melt in and make a yummy sauce.

Stir in the heated chicken and serve immediately.
