Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo<br />

Ingredients:<br />

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts<br />

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth<br />

4 cloves garlic, minced<br />

ground black pepper to taste<br />

2 cups heavy cream<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

salt to taste<br />

1 pound fettuccine<br />

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley<br />

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided<br />

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan<br />

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to<br />

low; simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5<br />

minutes. Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes.<br />

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving<br />

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut<br />

into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and cook<br />

until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream into the<br />

reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat.<br />

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm<br />

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until<br />

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm<br />

cream and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining<br />

cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until<br />

the mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes.<br />

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<br />

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in<br />

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about<br />

7 minutes. Drain. Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream<br />

mixture into the pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few<br />

minutes until thick. Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into<br />

the pasta mixture to serve. Source: allrecipes.com<br />
