Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Chicken Fajita Pasta

This spicy Tex-Mex dish is just what the doctor ordered to heat up a cold, windy day. Chicken, peppers, and onions combined with brown rice spaghetti create a pleasing pasta dish that is sure to satisfy your family.

Ingredients
16 oz. package brown rice spaghetti
1 T olive oil
1 large or 2 small boneless chicken breasts, diced
1 small onion, sliced
1 small green pepper, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
2 t chili powder
1 t salt
1 t paprika
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t cumin

Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Stir in a little olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Heat olive oil in large skillet. Saute chicken. Add onion and green pepper and cook until soft. As they are cooking, add chili powder, salt, paprika, garlic, and cumin. Add tomato toward the end of cooking so that it doesn't get too mushy.

In a large serving dish, toss the pasta with the chicken mixture until pasta is well-coated.

Makes 6-8 servings.
