Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 12 ounces Whole wheat fettuccine
• 1 cup Unsalted chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Fat-free half-and-half
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a cutting board to rest.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the whole wheat fettuccine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Pour in the unsalted chicken broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the fat-free half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth.

Step 6

Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering broth. Add the garlic powder, stirring constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add additional salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

Step 8

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 9

Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 10

Serve the pasta topped with sliced chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Enjoy the delicious low-fat chicken Alfredo!
