Healthy Carbonara With Veggies And Chicken
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 6 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
- 12 ounces chicken breast 2 breasts, cut in half and pounded thin
- 4 ounces canadian bacon diced
- 1 onion medium
- 2 bunches broccoli including stems, peel and coarsely dice the stems
- 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 3/4 cup egg beaters or other egg substitute
- 1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
- 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped, or 1 tsp dried
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped, or 1 tsp dried
- salt
- pepper
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente in pot of salted water.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet (I like to use cast-iron for this to get a sear) over medium-high heat. Lightly spray chicken breast with oil and rub in herbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook about 3 minutes a side.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add Canadian bacon and saute until nearly browned, about 2 minutes. Add onions, mushrooms and broccoli and saute until the broccoli is hot, but still firm. Turn heat off.
- Drain, but do not rinse, spaghetti and mix it with the vegetable mixture.
- In a bowl, combine Egg Beaters, buttermilk and cheese and pour over vegetables and pasta, the remaining heat of the spaghetti and skillet will cook the sauce. Top with pepper.
- Serve with chicken and Parmesan cheese.
