How to make it
- Combine onion, garlic and chicken broth, cover and simmer until onions are tender and most of the liquid is reduced (about 20 minutes). Puree in a blender and strain (if desired). Set aside.
- Cook quinoa pasta according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with pepper and NuSalt and dredge chicken in chickpea flour. Dip breasts in egg whites to coat well and then dredge once more in chickpea flour. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and spray with Pam. Add chicken to the pan and sauté until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pan.
- Add turkey bacon to the pan and saute for about 1-2 minutes. Add 1 ½ cans Evaporated Fat-Free Milk to the pan and bring up to simmer. Meanwhile mix remaining ½ can milk with cornstarch to make a slurry. Whisk mixture into the pan and add reserved onion garlic puree. Add frozen peas to the pan, bring to a simmer and cook until peas are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in parmigiano and nutmeg. Season with pepper and NuSalt. Make a bed of quinoa pasta and lay chicken on top. Spoon sauce over chicken and pasta and serve.

Thank you for this great healthy alternative to the typical Alfredo recipe. I love the sweet vidalia onions.
I also welcome the change to the nutritional quinoa pasta.
