And a lean pound of chicken breast, and about 1/2 a pound of whole wheat angel hair pasta, this dish should be okay for high blood pressure and diabetics, before consuming, check with your doctor or dietician before continuing.

THE GOODS

6 oz. of whole wheat angel hair pasta

1/3 cup garbanzo flour divided
