Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

8 oz whole wheat fettuccine (or pasta of choice)

1 cup cauliflower florets, steamed

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

    Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from pan and let rest before slicing.

      Cook the Pasta: While the chicken is cooking, boil water in a large pot with a pinch of salt. Add the whole wheat fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

        Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a blender, add the steamed cauliflower, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine: In the skillet used for the chicken, add the cooked pasta and Alfredo sauce. Toss until the pasta is well coated.

            Serve: Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
