Chicken Alfredo
Traditionally made with butter, lots of Parmesan, heavy cream and several grindings of fresh black pepper, pasta Alfredo is traditionally loaded with calories! But this version uses nonfat sour cream and a handful of Parmesan to get the same rich and flavorful sauce. It's guiltlessly sinful!
 
8 oz   Buitoni® refrigerated Fettuccine  
2 Tbs   vegetable oil  
3/4 lb   fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced  
1   small yellow onion, peeled and chopped  
1/2 cup   minced green onions  
2   clove garlic, crushed  
1 1/4 cups   nonfat sour cream  
1/4 cup   grated Parmesan cheese  
2   sprigs fresh thyme  
1/8 tsp   ground nutmeg  
1/8 tsp   salt  
1/8 tsp   ground black pepper  
4   sprigs fresh parsley  
 
 
1 Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
2 Meanwhile in a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil (reserve 1 tablespoon for later). Cook chicken until golden brown (3 to 5 minutes per side). Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
3 Heat remaining (1 tablespoon) oil in a saucepan. Add yellow onion and green onion; sauté briefly (abour 1 minute), then add garlic. Cook until onions are tender, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, add sour cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme and nutmeg; stir for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4 Add chicken; stir to coat completely with sauce.
5 Place pasta on oven-warmed plates. Pour chicken and sauce over pasta. Garnish with parsley.
