Skinny Chicken 'n Broccoli Fettuccine - from Marsha’s Munchies Recipe
I like that this uses Greek yogurt rather than cream. However, I imagine there are times I would indulge myself and switch to cream. ;)
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled and cut into chunks (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups roasted broccoli florets
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, milk, pepper and nutmeg.
- Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring gently, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan.
- Add cooked chicken and broccoli to sauce mixture, followed by the cooked pasta.
- Toss to combine and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
