Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 6 oz Low-fat cream cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Reduced-fat milk
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the low-fat cream cheese and stir until fully melted and incorporated into the broth.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and reduce-fat milk. Continue stirring until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy sauce. Season the sauce with black pepper and additional salt if needed.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken breast. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this lighter twist on Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine!
