Ingredients

• 250 grams High protein spaghetti
• 300 grams Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 100 grams Spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 500 milliliters Skim milk
• 100 grams Low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the high protein spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Add the chickpea flour to the cooked chicken mixture in the pan, stirring continuously to form a paste with the remaining oil. Gradually add the skim milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 6

Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted, about 2 minutes. Then, season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and fold in the cooked spaghetti, combining well to coat the noodles with the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, mixing until it's evenly distributed and starts to melt.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the high protein aletria hot, with an optional side of salad or steamed vegetables.
