Recipes
- 6 ounces uncooked farfalle pasta or any bite-sized shape pasta (white or wheat), about 3 cups
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 3/4 cups fat-free milk
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces, about 1 inch, and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat.
Add chicken to the hot skillet and brown on all sides for 1-2 minutes (you don’t need to cook it all the way through).
Add minced garlic and sauté for one minute.
Add chicken broth, milk, flour, onion powder, basil, parsley and uncooked pasta to pan and stir well to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring once or twice during this time.
Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
