Ingredients

• 8 ounces Whole wheat fettuccine
• 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 piece Small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the Dijon mustard and Greek yogurt, mixing well until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.

Step 9

Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss gently to combine.

Step 11

Serve the fettuccine warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
