Easy healthy chicken Alfredo

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally then drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat then cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 3

Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, make the healthy alfredo sauce.

Step 5

Over medium heat, melt the butter then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up the fond from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Bring to a simmer then stir a few spoonfuls of the hot stock into the yogurt. This tempers the yogurt and prevents it from curdling in the pan.

Step 8

Pour the yogurt into the pan and bring to a simmer then turn the heat off and add the Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta of your choice until al dente.

Reserve a cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.

Step 11

Stir the cooked pasta and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water into the creamy alfredo sauce.
