Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
4 slices smoked turkey bacon

Vegetables

1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Pasta

12 ounces penne or rotini pasta

Sauces and Liquids

1 1/2 cups plant-based cream (plant-based)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Other Ingredients

1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later.
Prepare Chicken and Turkey Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the smoked turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. In the same pan, add shredded chicken and lightly brown for extra flavor.
Sauté the Aromatics and Veggies: Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Stir in peas, carrots, and corn, cooking until the veggies are just tender but still vibrant.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour vegetable broth and plant-based cream (plant-based) into the skillet, then whisk in the natural gelling agent and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir continuously while heating until the sauce thickens into a smooth, velvety consistency.
Combine Everything: Return the turkey bacon and chicken to the skillet. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix well to evenly coat with the creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce to your desired thickness.
Final Touches: Season with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. Give everything a final stir, then remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

Shred chicken ahead of time to save preparation time.
Simmer sauce gently to prevent curdling and achieve perfect thickness.
Do not overcook vegetables to maintain texture and color.
Use high-quality vegetable broth for enhanced flavor.
Adjust sauce consistency gradually by adding reserved pasta water as needed.
