1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 fluid ounces vegetable oil, divided
1 lb penne pasta
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
1 red pepper, julienne cut
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 lb whole spinach leaves, stemmed
12 fluid ounces heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:

Preparing the chicken: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, black pepper and Italian herb seasoning in a shallow dish.
2
Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
3
Saute the chicken in batches, in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet -- with enough oil to coat -- over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
4
When finished, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
5
Preparing the pasta: Cook pasta al dente (or according to package instructions).

8
Slowly add remaining one tablespoon of flour and stir to combine.

Next, add the white wine and bring to a boil for about one minute. Add the spinach and the cream and bring to a boil. The sauce is done cooking when the spinach becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in the parmesan cheese.

Prep time 15 minutes
Cook time 30 minutes
Total time 45 minutes
Allergy Egg, Milk
Dietary Gluten Free, Vegetarian
Meal type Lunch, Main Dish, Snack, Starter
Misc Child Friendly, Pre-preparable, Serve Hot
Ingredients
340g raw cauliflower, fresh or frozen (60 calories)
1 large free-range egg (74 calories)
75g low-fat mozzarella cheese, grate 50g and slice the remaining 25g for the topping (225 calories)
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (44 calories)
1/4 teaspoon dried basil (1 calorie)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (1 calorie)
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules or powder (2 calories)
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced (40 calories)
1/2 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced (20 calories)
2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and minced (8 calories)
1/4 teaspoon red chilli flakes (4 calories)
fresh oregano or basil, to garnish
Note
A delectable low-calorie gluten free pizza that is also suitable for those following the 5:2 fast diet, the Paleo diet as well as vegetarians. This cauliflower crust pizza is tasty and very filling and is only per 240 calories portion. (This recipe serves 2 people)
Directions
Step 1 Line a pizza stone or tray (or just an ordinary baking tray) with greaseproof paper.
Pre-heat the oven to 210C/420F/Gas mark 7.
Step 2 Grate the cauliflower, or process it in a food processor; you are looking to achieve fine crumbs, but do not purée it. If using frozen cauliflower, squeeze excess water out of it and crumble with your hands if possible.
Step 3 Microwave the cauliflower crumbs for 5 to 6 minutes, or until soft. You can also steam or boil the cauliflower, but you will need to squeeze the excess water out of it afterwards if cooked with water.
Step 4 Place the cauliflower crumbs in to an large mixing bowl and add the egg, grated mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well, you should have a fairly stiff but malleable dough, as seen in my photos.
Step 5 Place the cauliflower "dough" onto the prepared tray and pat out into a large circle, about 12.5cms (10") in diameter and about 1.5cms (1/2") thick. Spray the top with a little low-fat cooking spray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Step 6 Place the sliced tomatoes on top, sprinkle the chilli flakes over, scatter over the minced garlic and onion rings, season to taste with salt and pepper, and then arrange the sliced mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 7 Bake for 10 minutes or until the topping is bubbling and the cheese has melted. Scatter fresh oregano or basil leaves over and serve cut into wedges with salad leaves.
