Chicken carbonara pasta-ish dish+−
Options/ Alternatives

This dish is so incredibly tasty that you won’t notice the missing ‘traditional’ pasta.

You see, to make this dish low carb we’ve used steamed cabbage noodles.

Just like pasta, these strips of steamed cabbage get coated in the creamy carbonara sauce, with the benefit of keeping blood sugars in good check, without all those excess carbs.

And, best of all, like many of the meals here at Diabetes Meal Plans, it can be made in 15 minutes or less – the kind of meals we all want more of, wouldn’t you agree?!

Ingredients

2 skinless chicken thighs
1 red onion
3 strips bacon
3 Tablespoon dry white wine
1/2 cup coconut cream
1 egg
3.5 oz green cabbage – equivalent to 3 cups – shredded
salt and pepper

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

Heat garlic oil in a pan over a medium heat, add onion and saute until browning
Add bacon and continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally
Add the chicken to the pan and stir in, then allow to cook for about 1 minute
Stir it and let cook for another minute or so
Give it a bit of a stir, then add 3 capfuls of white wine into the pan, and a generous amount of pepper and a bit of salt, then stir it into the mixture
Now add the coconut cream, let it simmer for 1-2 minutes then turn the heat off
Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes while you prepare plates and tidy up
Beat the egg in a bowl, then just before you’re ready to serve, turn the heat on low under the pan, stir in the egg, then turn off the heat again. You don’t want the egg to scrmable in the sauce but just thicken it. So be careful not to boil it or heat it too much
Using tongs, place cabbage pasta alternative into 2 bowls, then spoon the mixture on top for a delightful and tasty dish
