Description

Ingredients

• 1½ pounds chicken breast
• 1 box of whole wheat pasta (I used rigatoni)
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups 2% milk
• ½ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

• Bring a large pot of SALTED (it should taste like the ocean) water to a boil. When its boiling, add your pasta and cook until al dente (follow package instructions). Drain in a colander and set aside
• Meanwhile, season your chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with a bit of olive oil
• Add your chicken and cook until done (no longer pink in the middle). Set aside
• In the same pan your chicken was in, add your flour and olive oil - whisk together
• Let this cook for about a minute, whisking often
• Add your milk, whisk to combine. Bring this to a simmer and let it cook until your sauce has thickened slightly
• Remove from the heat. Add your cheese and garlic powder
• Season to taste with salt and pepper
• Slice your chicken up, and add the chicken and pasta in with your sauce. Stir to combine and serve!
