chicken broth

🥗Healthier: low-sodium chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Using water with bouillon cubes can cut costs while still providing flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Boil a pot of water and add salt for cooking the pasta.

Add angel hair pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Reserve some starchy pasta water before draining the pasta.

Shock the pasta in cold water to stop the cooking process.

Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Once the oil is hot (indicated by slight smoking), add the diced chicken to the skillet without seasoning it.

Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and season it with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Add diced onions to the skillet to pick up the flavors left from the chicken.

Create a bed in the skillet for the garlic to prevent burning, then add minced garlic on top of the onions.

Allow the garlic to cook until aromatic, ensuring it doesn't burn by keeping it on top of the onion bed.
