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.
