Pesto Edamame Fried Chicken Pasta is not only beautiful and delicious, but it's deceptively healthy as well. You will accuse me of being truth challenged when I tell you this is a high protein dish...In fact, each of the 8 servings are only 375 calories, 11g net carbs and 45g protein. YES, FORTY FIVE...Pinocchio may have altered features (job related issues), but I can assure you that my smeller is the the exact same size as when I entered the kitchen. Another bonus, this feeds a crowd, so you have the opportunity to share all these benefits with 7 of your favorite peeps! Honest Abe would have loved this dish ;)
