Low-Fat Fettuccine Alfredo

Adapted from a recipe by Juan Carlos Cruz
foodnetwork.com

Salt
1 tbsp minced garlic
pepper
8 oz fettuccine
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup non-fat half and half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 lb chicken tenders, cubed
Drizzles of canola oil

Cook the pasta until al dente.

Season chicken cubes with salt/pepper to taste.  Saute in a frying pan in canola oil.  Remove chicken from pan, drizzle with more oil and cook the garlic.  Add chicken stock & the chicekn and bring to a boil, until it reduces by half.  Add the half and half, and simmer until the sauce thickens.  Add the Parmesan cheese and salt/pepper to taste.  Add noodles to pan and toss to coat.  Garnish with parsley.

I made this for DH Tuesday night.  I doubled everything, and felt that it just wasn't enough sauce for all the pasta.  (DH agreed.)  But it was ok and I didn't feel guilty eating a whole bowl of it.  I will probably try it again.
