CHICKEN PENNE Recipe (Low FODMAP DIET)

Quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal but elegant and delicious enough for company, this Low FODMAP chicken and pasta dish is sure to become one of your favourites. Since cream contains lactose, I’ve replaced it with a mixture of lactose-free milk and my Basic Flour Blend, which thickens it up nicely.
