21 Day Fix Approved Chicken in Vodka Sauce






If Grey Goose can be a part of my dinner....and it's 21 Day Fix Approved...BRING IT ON!!!

LOL!!
I love pasta...but when you look at many of the pasta sauce nutrition labels...they can be scary. Luckily while making this sauce I was able to control what goes in the sauce!! And it was delicious! 
This is one that will definitely be made again!!!

Ingredients
  • 4 slices turkey bacon (nitrate-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
  • sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 T of vodka
  • 4 T 2% plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and more for topping
  • 1 T chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano flakes
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, grilled
  • Pasta or Zoodles
  1. Chop turkey bacon into bits and sautee until brown. Remove from pan.
  2. Add olive oil to pan and diced onions. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften, then add garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook for another minute.
  3. Add can of crushed tomatoes to the pan, as well salt, pepper and the herbs. Stir in bacon and vodka. Simmer for ten minutes on medium low heat.
  4. Add in Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and cook for a few more minutes. The sauce should turn a more pinkish color.
  5. Plate your noodles or zoodles, add chicken, then top with sauce. Add a bit more Parmesan on top!
    I love this pasta..and it can be found at Aldi. I think it's a little over $2.00 a bag..but so worth it!!! Easy to cook...big on taste!!! You all have to go and look for it!!!

    Hope you enjoy this pasta as much as my family and I did!!!
