How is chicken spaghetti usually made?
The main ingredients of chicken spaghetti are often cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, chicken, and spaghetti.
I made a low FODMAP chicken spaghetti with a homemade white sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken, and gluten-free spaghetti.
And I also added some extra veggies. This makes this a delicious wholesome dish and comfort food at the same time. Win-win!
How to make the low FODMAP chicken spaghetti casserole
I used the following ingredients for this casserole:
For the white sauce
I make the gluten-free white sauce with:
- Butter
- Gluten-free flour: I use Schär Mix It Universal
- Low FODMAP broth: made with a low FODMAP stock cube or powder.
- Lactose-free cream
- And later I add grated cheese. I chose cheddar because I like its spicy taste. But you can use any grated cheese you like.
- I also season the white sauce with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
For the casserole
The casserole also consists of the following ingredients:
- Gluten-free spaghetti
- Chicken breast
- Oyster mushrooms: oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP and can therefore be used during the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet.
As you may see in the photo, I use button mushrooms myself. That’s because I have already tested these and I tolerate mushrooms well. But button mushrooms are not suitable for the elimination phase of the diet. - Green bell pepper: green bell pepper is low FODMAP in a larger amount than red bell pepper. In addition, green bell pepper contains a different FODMAP group, making it easier to combine with diced tomatoes. Red pepper and diced tomatoes both contain fructose. You can read more about bell peppers and the FODMAP diet here.
- Diced tomatoes
You start by frying the chicken and then the vegetables. Then you make the white sauce and you stir the diced tomatoes into the white sauce. In the meantime, you also cook the spaghetti.
This all goes together in an oven dish for 25 to 30 minutes and then your low FODMAP chicken spaghetti is ready!
