This original recipe comes from Hungry Girl's new book. I changed it up because I didn't want mushrooms, I didn't have enough jarred roasted red peppers, and I didn't want as much parmesan as it called for. Next time I would also some sauteed onion to the bowl, and possibly some garlic. Oh yea, we also didn't have tofu noodles, and I used real bacon rather than precooked crumbled. DH made the same thing, but he added mushrooms and sauteed his yellow pepper. Here is how I made it.
- 1/3-1/2 cup cooked noodles (we used bow tie)
- 1 Tablespoon fat free sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon grated Parmesan (DH used 2 teaspoons)
- 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light original swiss cheese
- 3 oz. precooked chicken
- 1 Tablespoon jarred roasted red peppers (I wouldn't need this next time, but we had it this time)
- 1/4-1/2 cup chopped sweet pepper (yellow, orange or red)
- (For next time definitely add 2 Tablespoons chopped onion and 1 clove garlic, minced)
- salt and pepper to taste - I didn't think it needed much salt because of the bacon, I did like it with a few grinds of pepper. DH liked it with more of both salt and pepper
- 1/2 slice bacon, cooked crisply and crumbled.
- Cook noodles according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients except bacon in a bowl. When noodles finish cooking, drain, and add them to the bowl while still warm. Stir to combine. (Warm noodles should help melt the swiss cheese enough to make a nice sauce.
- Sprinkle with bacon.
