Fueling Recipe: Chicken Bolognese

Rather than traditional ground meats such as beef, veal and pork, this Bolognese is made with diced chicken breast, and omits other rich ingredients such as milk and butter for a significantly lower-fat variation on a classic. You can toss it with pasta, or even top flatbread or pizza crust with it.
