Skinny Bang Bang Pasta
This lightened up and low-fat version of bang bang pasta sauce is just as delicious as the original but without all the guilt. Pair it with your favorite pasta or make it even healthier with a multi-grain pasta.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
- 8 oz thin spaghetti pasta, or pasta of your choice
- chopped parsley for garnish
for the sauce
- 1/2 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt, (see note)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce, smooth kind without seeds
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, or other hot sauce
- 1/2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Lightly grease a saute pan and turn stove to medium-high. Add garlic and cook until the aroma of the garlic comes out. Add in chicken pieces and cook until chicken is cooked through.
- In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook until done. Drain out water when pasta is finished.
- While pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining all ingredients and mixing with a whisk until smooth. You can adjust as needed.
- Add chicken to the still hot pasta. Pour 2/3 of the sauce into the hot pasta and toss. Slightly warm the remaining sauce (in the microwave is fine). Dish out pasta onto plates and add remaining sauce on top. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- You must use Greek and not regular yogurt otherwise your sauce won't have the right consistency.
