How To CookThis Easy kidney friendly Pasta Recipe with Chicken

Prepare the kidney friendly pasta:

1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. The water should not lightly salt (1 tsp), since renal patients need a low-sodium diet. Then, put the pasta in the cooking pot and stir occasionally. After about 10 minutes you can taste test some pasta to see if you are satisfied with the firmness. If so, you can drain the pasta and set aside since we will use it later in the skillet. See step 6 below.

Cook the renal chicken:

2. Pound the chicken breasts with the meat tenderizer hammer so that the chicken is even in thickness (about ½”) and season it all over with 1½ Tbsp of parsley seasoning.

   

   Season the chicken on both sides.

3. Heat two tsp of olive oil (has to be olive oil for a renal diet recipe) in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Once the pan is hot you can add the chicken and sear it on both sides. After the chicken is in the pan, turn the heat down to low and sauté until cooked thoroughly.

   

   Place the ingredients in a pan.

4. After the chicken is cooked, remove the renal chicken from the pan. You can transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, where you can slice it into thin strips. In the meantime, do not clean the skillet. Save the skillet for the next step of our renal chicken recipe.

   

   Chicken cooks at 150 degrees. Temp with thermometer probe.

Make the sauce:

5. In the same skillet you just used to cook the chicken sauté the butter and garlic for 30-60 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant. Your skillet should be over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes and sauté for another two minutes.

   

   Add the diced tomatoes and sauté another 2 minutes.

   In the same skillet, toss the kidney friendly pasta linguine.
