Ingredients to Noodle With
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this delicious dish:
- 8 ounces whole wheat fettuccine
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions for Deliciousness
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your masterpiece:
- Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once it’s bubbling away, toss in the whole wheat fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside—no one likes soggy pasta!
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and beautifully browned.
- Next, throw in the broccoli florets and minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Smells heavenly, doesn’t it?
- Pour in the almond milk and chicken broth. Bring it to a simmer, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens up a bit—get ready for creamy perfection!
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it all together until the pasta is coated in that lovely alfredo sauce. If it’s a bit thick, don’t be shy! You can add a splash more of almond milk to reach your desired creaminess.
- Finally, plate your scrumptious dish, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top, and get ready to impress whoever is lucky enough to join you for dinner!
