    ...

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons butter
    1 clove garlic, minced
    6 boneless chicken breasts
    1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta
    1 onion, chopped
    1 cube chicken bouillon, crumbled
    1/2 cup water
    1 1/4 cups whipping cream
    3/4 cup milk
    1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    1. In a large sauté pan, heat oil, butter and garlic over medium heat.

    2. Add chicken and cook until juices run clear. Remove chicken from pan. Let cool and cut into bite-sized pieces. Reserve oil in pan.

    3. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain.

    4. Reheat oil in pan, add onion and sauté, stirring often, until onion is soft but still white. Add bouillon cube and water; bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for approximately 10 minutes.

    5. Stir in cream, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Place pasta in a bowl, layer chicken over pasta. Pour sauce over top of chicken and around pasta.

    "Instead of the butter, I would use cooking spray and a non stick skillet/sauté pan. I would re-spray the pan to sauté the onions. The heavy cream is the tough one! Switch to light cream? Better yet, make a béchamel-type sauce with 1/4 cup flour to two cups of liquid (a combination of 2% milk and maybe a little bit of cream) with the bouillon cube. I’d make sure to use real Parmigianno Regianno cheese -- it’s way more flavorful than the canned Parmesan cheese, so you can get away with using less."- Donna

    "I would use an olive oil spray, skim milk and fat-free half and half in place of the heavy cream."- Betsy

    "To start with, I would eliminate the butter and oil all together and use cooking spray. Butter or garlic flavor Pam would be great for this. I think you can get low-fat or fat free whipping cream, but not sure about that. And the milk I would just use skim. Sounds good too, no matter how you make it!"
