**Low Fat Creamy Chicken Alfredo**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 oz whole wheat fettuccine pasta
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup low-fat milk
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tbsp cornstarch
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, chicken broth, and cornstarch until well combined.
5. Pour the milk mixture into the skillet with the garlic. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken.
6. Once the sauce has thickened, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well incorporated.
7. Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them back to the skillet with the sauce.
8. Toss in the cooked fettuccine pasta and stir gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
10. Serve the Low Fat Creamy Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an extra pop of flavor.
