I am obsessed with Shirataki Noodles aka miracle noodles! They  soak up any flavor that I add to it and best part is, I can enjoy a big bowl and not feel bogged down with eating so many carbs! This Chicken Pesto Shirataki Pasta is a perfect way to still enjoy pasta on a low carb diet. It's flavorful and the chicken is nice and juicy! Did I mention it all comes together in less than 30 minutes...WIN!

 2 bags Shirataki Noodle packages (8 oz each)
 1 tbsp tomato paste
 2 tbsp pesto sauce
 salt & pepper (to taste)
 1/4 cup of fresh basil (chopped)
 3 chicken breast (12 oz)
 2 tsp Italian seasoning
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/2 black pepper
1

Drain both packages of shirataki pasta. In a medium pan on medium heat, saute noodles until all moisture is evaporated from the pasta, about 3-4 minutes.

2

Add the tomato paste, pasta sauce, salt, and pepper. Saute until sauces are well mixed together with the pasta. Add the fresh basil and set aside to work on the chicken.

3

Slice the chicken breast in half (butterfly style) to thin out the thickness of the chicken breast. Season chicken breast with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. On a grill or griddle pan, cook the chicken breast on each side for 6 minutes or until internal temp of chicken is 165 degrees. Note: Make sure that you let the chicken really cook on one side before flipping.

4

Slice chicken and add to the top of the pasta. Garnish with more basil and enjoy!
