  • 0.5 whole onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 handful fresh parsley (chopped) optional

Steps

  1. 1
    Get water in a pot, add salt, bring to a boil, then cook your pasta for 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove and reserve the pasta water, then drain the rest.
    Tip: Save the pasta water — it helps emulsify the sauce.

    Season your chicken breast with garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix well.
    ~2 min
  3. 3
    Make the sauce by blending low-fat milk, low-fat cream cheese, parmesan, Italian herbs, and the reserved pasta water until smooth and creamy.
    ~3 min
  4. 4
    Get a pan on medium heat and cook the seasoned chicken for 5 minutes until cooked through, then set aside.
    ~5 min
  5. 5
    In the same pan, add chopped onions and garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the sauce and bring to a light bubble.
    ~4 min
  6. 6
    Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese and serve.
    ~2 min
