Shirataki Harvest Noodles Marinara with Grilled Chicken

May 29, 2015 by Mary 15 Comments

Shirataki Harvest Noodles  with grilled oregano chicken.
I love pasta. Doesn’t everyone? But you know, it is fattening. Well what if there was a “pasta” that was actually low in carbohydrates and calories? That is exactly what this Shirataki Harvest Noodles Marinara with Grilled Chicken dish is all about! I created this entree with the last product from our spring box. Adding grilled chicken to these saucy noodles makes a fully satisfying, delicious meal that is actually low in calories!

Really.

Shirataki Harvest noodles ready to  go in the microwave.This “pasta” noodle is made from konjac yam root flour. Full of fiber, it is a secret weight loss food popular in Asia. This ready-to-eat version from Harvest Foods, is in a delicious, light marinara sauce that is just perfect to pair with the skinless, boneless grilled chicken breasts. Plus, this is super easy to make and ready in a jiffy. For the shirataki noodles, just a couple of minutes in the microwave and you’re ready to go. Additionally, the noodles by themselves are vegan. If you would like to keep it an overall vegan dish, adding some grilled eggplant would be a good substitute for the grilled chicken.

Here’s how I prepared the dish:

SHIRATAKI HARVEST NOODLES MARINARA WITH GRILLED CHICKEN – serves 2

2 packages of Shirataki Harvest Noodles Marinara
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Olive oil spray
Italian parsley or basil for garnish
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano.Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, pepper and a little dried oregano as shown in the picture. Let sit for 30 – 45 minutes on the countertop.

Light a grill or heat up a grill pan on the stovetop. Spray the grill or grill pan with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Grill the breast, turning once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 155 – 160 degrees. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

Heat up the Shirataki noodles for 2 minutes in the microwave, following the package instructions. Be sure to puncture the top cover to let air escape. Pour noodles and sauce into a flat pasta bowl.

Slice the chicken breast on an angle and place in a layer on top of the Shirataki noodles. Grate Parmesan cheese on top, garnish with parsley or basil and serve with LOVE.

Skinny, healthy and easy never tasted so good!

The Shirataki Harvest Noodles Marinara is the last item from our MARY’s secret ingredients spring box. Don’t miss out on the summer box that mails June 25th. You can order that here.

    I eat lots of shirataki…not exactly same as real noodle, but I am happy with it. Yours with marinara and garlic chicken looks absolutely mouthwatering.

    I have never heard of konjac yam root flour before. It is interesting that it aids with weight loss 🙂

    We’ve tried shirataki noodles — they’re interesting. We did them in an Asian-style soup. Should try them in something like this — love the idea! Thanks so much.

      This version, in a sauce already, cuts out the smelly rinsing phase. So much better and totally delicious!

    What a coincidence! You know just a couple of weeks ago I tried for the first time shirataki noodles, because I was curious to find out how they compare to “real” pasta.

    the brand I bought comes in plastic baggies full of liquid in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. At first I was a bit suspicious of the smell, that I found too odd and a bit strong. but, once I warmed them in the microwave and mixed with sauce, no problem.

    I have to say I like them, and your preparation is definitely a must-try!
