Muscle Building Chicken Pasta

Chicken pasta is usually creamy, high in fat and saved for cheat meals to avoid ruining your daily macros. It doesn't have to be this way. Even with a teaspoon of Parmesan Cheese, this recipe has only 5.9gms of fat per serve and packs a protein punch of 41gms. The Dijon Mustard helps to give it that creamy taste without the excess calories and the Chargrilled Peppers make this quick and easy recipe taste like something you could get at a Restaurant.
