Quick tips for this recipe...

When I'm tracking, I weigh out the chicken on my food scale to make sure I'm eating the amount I've pre-tracked. I also will cook my portion of pasta separately so I don't over or undershoot how much to have!

I used to make this with loads of olive oil and regular pasta. I still do on occasion make it the way I originally learned, but this macro-friendly option allows me to fit more into my day! I have learned that editing my routine recipes in this way helps me maintain flavor, but allows me to reach/maintain my goals! I don't really need all that olive oil and it tastes the same to us with the chicken stock, maybe even better!
