Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast sliced
  • 8 oz fettuccine
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to the package, reserving a little pasta water.
  2. Sauté the chicken in olive oil until golden, then set aside.
  3. Cook garlic 30 seconds, then whisk in milk and Parmesan until smooth.
  4. Stir in the Greek yogurt off the heat so it doesn't curdle.
  5. Toss in the pasta and chicken, loosening with pasta water as needed.

Notes

Greek yogurt swapped for cream keeps it creamy but much lighter.
