Recipe Details

This Greek chicken pasta is gluten free, dairy free and grain free. This is paleo as well. See substitutions below for accommodating other diets.

For the cream cheese, I used Kite Hill vegan cream cheese. This is my favorite brand but any should do.

Fresh Ingredients

• Lentil penne
• Chicken breasts
• Salt, pepper & oregano
• Olive oil
• Garlic
• Almond milk
• Vegan cream cheese
• Lemon juice
• Lemon zest
• Cherry tomatoes
• Cucumber
• Dill

Substitutions:

For Low FODMAP, swap the lentil noodles for brown rice noodles and omit the garlic.

To make this vegan, simply remove the chicken. Every other ingredient is already vegan. You can always add in another vegan protein, but with the lentil noodles you already have plenty of protein!
