Chicken & Brocolli Alfredo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, grilled & chopped (I used my Foreman Grill)
    2 cups roasted broccoli florets
    8 ounces fettuccine pasta
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 tablespoons garlic, minced
    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 fresh grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
    1) Boil noodles, drain and set aside.
    2) In medium sauce pan, heat evoo over medium-low heat. Add garlic & cook till golden. Whisk in flour till smooth. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, Greek yogurt, milk, pepper, & nutmeg. Bring to low boil, stirring constantly. Lower heat & simmer till mixture thickens. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesian cheese.
    3) Add cooked chicken & brocolli to sauce, followed my cooked pasta. Toss to combine & serve with remaining Parmesian cheese.
    *Note: On the George Foreman grill, the chicken breasts take 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Make sure to cook meat thoroughly, not even a hint of pink in the middle.
    **Note: I usually start making the sauce while the noodles are boiling so they don't wind up cooling while waiting on the sauce to finish.
    ***Note: I've made this recipe with broiled brocolli and it turned out great.
