Treat Tuesday #179 (Happy Book Birthday)

Treat Tuesday:  Chicken Alfredo Pasta

*One of my most favorite meals is Chicken Alfredo.  The only down side of this meal is it isn't all that healthy or good for you.

*My wife recently found this more "healthy" version and we when tried it out and it was delicious.

*Give it a try, enjoy, and check out the new books out today...





INGREDIENTS...

Servings: 4
1 tablespoon olive oil 
2 chicken breasts, cubed
1 teaspoon salt 
½ teaspoon pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour 
1 cup chicken broth 
1 cup skim milk, or milk of choice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cups spinach 
2 cups whole grain penne pasta, cooked 
¼ cup Parmesan, optional

PREPARATION...

1. Heat the olive oil over a skillet and add chicken. Season with salt and pepper, and cook 5-8 minutes, or until no longer pink. 
2. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. 
3. In the same pan, add the garlic and sauté for one minute over medium heat. 
4. Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and slowly add in the chicken stock. 
5. Quickly stir to avoid lumps. 
6. Add in the skim milk, stir, and allow to reach a boil to thicken sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
