Health benefits of Dairy-Free Chicken Alfredo

Skinless chicken breast, often heralded for its lean nutritional profile, is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to protein content. With an impressive 21 grams of protein packed into every 100 grams of the breast, it emerges as a preferred choice for those conscious about their protein intake. Delving deeper into the nutritional matrix of chicken, one can't overlook the copious amounts of vitamin B6 it houses. This particular vitamin plays an indispensable role in our body, especially when discussing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) management.

For individuals grappling with PCOS, the internal hormonal turbulence can be overwhelming, often leading to a spike in testosterone and androgen levels. This is where vitamin B6 comes into the spotlight. Acting as a balancer, vitamin B6 diligently works behind the scenes to keep these hormones in check, ensuring they don't surge beyond desirable levels. It is this equilibrium that becomes paramount for those earnestly looking to curtail the excessive flow of testosterone and androgen. In the broader spectrum of PCOS management, incorporating foods rich in vitamin B6, like chicken breast, can be a strategic move, providing both nutritional sustenance and hormonal balance.

Ingredients

3 tbsps hummus
1 cup water
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 tsp garlic
1 oz parmesan cheese, fat free
3 oz chicken breast strips

Instructions

1. Season chicken strips as desired with very little sodium if any.

2. Spray pan with olive oil spray. Place chicken breast strips in pan on medium heat.

3. After 15 minutes (when golden brown) flip over and add bell pepper strips. Stir every 5 minutes for the next 15 minutes checking chicken.

4. Once both sides are golden brown, add the hummus (any flavor).

5. Add water or non-fat broth until it's a creamy "alfredo" consistency. If you add too much water or non-fat broth, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer stirring often.

6. At this point you can add 1/4 cup non-fat parmesan cheese if you wish or you can add it at the very end once it's served.

7. Add garlic powder and pepper to taste. Serve over spaghetti squash or boiled zucchini strings or just enjoy by itself.
