Ingredients

• 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet with the garlic.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously until it begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat milk and Greek yogurt. Heat gently without boiling.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 10

Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet with the sauce, mixing well to coat everything evenly.

Step 11

Heat through for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 12

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
