Just made this recipe tonight, all of your recipes are amazing thank you very much for sharing them! Your recipes help me cut down to 15% body fat along with my weight program. Can’t tell you enough how much you’ve helped me out! I’ll be buying your book for sure when it comes out.
Thanks Nic! I really appreciate that man and great job on cutting down!
I assume you do something to the chopped chicken first before putting it in with the pasta, because otherwise it’d be raw, right?
Hi Laura! Yes, you’ll want to use a cooked protein. In this recipe I just use some baked chicken that I had!
This recipe is amazing! I’ll try all your other recipes as well.
Thanks Derek!
Thanks Youri! I hope you like them!
