Shirataki Noodles are a traditional Japanese noodle with almost no digestible carbs. They're nearly all fiber. They're sold in wetpacks with a nasty smelling liquid - drain, rinse and boil them for about 2 minutes and they're ready to eat. I haven't figured out the Weight Watchers points on this one yet - as soon as I do, I'll edit the recipe. Ingredients:
16 ounces shirataki noodles |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup green pepper, sliced in 1-inch strips |
1 cup onion, sliced in 1-inch strips |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 (20 ounce) jar tomato and basil pasta sauce |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Prepare noodles according to package directions.
2. Heat non-stick 12-inch skillet with 2-inch sides over medium high heat. Add butter and oil. Add peppers and onions and chicken and cook until soft and onions are lightly browned.
3. Add mushrooms, cook 1- 2 minutes. Pour in sauce, mix well.
4. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently 5 minutes.
5. Spray a non-stick pan with oil, add noodles and stir-fry 1 minute until hot and dry.
6. Place noodles on 4 warm serving plates and portion the chicken and sauce on top. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over each serving.
