Ingredients
SERVINGS:
UNITS: US METRICS
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
2 tsp. grill seasoning
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 1/2 cups fat free chicken broth
8 oz. high fiber pasta (break spaghetti or linguine in half)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup half and half
Salt and pepper
Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with grill seasoning. Add to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
2
Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are becoming tender. Stir often so the garlic doesn’t burn.
3
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and simmer for 12-15 minutes until pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir as needed, especially as the liquid is absorbed more. Add extra liquid if needed.
4
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and half and half. Then stir in the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes for the sauce to thicken.
