Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Pasta

  • 8 ounces spaghetti (or gluten-free spaghetti)

Dairy & Sauces

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

Liquids & Others

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Fry the smoked turkey bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and fragrant. Remove bacon pieces and leave the flavorful fat in the pan.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, then add chopped bell peppers and stir to combine.
  3. Brown the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through.
  4. Deglaze with Apple Cider Vinegar: Pour a splash of apple cider vinegar into the skillet to lift the caramelized bits from the bottom and add brightness to the dish.
  5. Add Liquids and Pasta: Pour in chicken broth and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), then nestle uncooked spaghetti into the pan, breaking strands as needed. Cover with lid and cook until pasta absorbs the broth and is tender.
  6. Stir in Plant-Based Cheese and Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle in the plant-based cheese and natural gelling agent, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
  7. Finish and Serve: Fold the crispy smoked turkey bacon back into the skillet, stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
