Ingredients

  • 12 oz gluten-free noodles
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth I use low-sodium
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp gluten free flour or tapioca flour
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • ¾ tsp sea salt to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
  • Optional: 2 cups grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Drain into a colander and set aside.
  3. Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped chicken breasts and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has browned.
  5. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Bring to a full boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the cooked noodles to a large (13” x 9”) casserole dish, along with the sauce. Note: if you’re adding cheese, you can either stir it in with everything or sprinkle it on top.
  7. Stir everything together and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until much of the sauce has been absorbed by the noodles.
