    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

    1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
    2. 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.
    3. Whisk in the flour until smooth, about 2 minutes.
    4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, milk, pepper and nutmeg.
    5. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring gently, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
    6. Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan.
    7. Add cooked chicken and broccoli to sauce mixture, followed by the cooked pasta.
    8. Toss to combine and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
