Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, grilled and cut into chunks (about 2 cups)
2 cups broccoli florets, roasted
8 ounces fettuccine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth, low fat low sodium
1/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain fat free
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
