Serves 4, so I made it 1 1/2 times.
1/2 lb. fettuccine, uncooked
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (~2 cups)
1-1/4 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 tsp. flour
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz.) cream cheese, cubed
3 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 cups chopped cooked broccoli before serving.
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
COOK pasta as directed on package.
MEANWHILE, heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 min. or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet. Mix broth and flour in same skillet. Stir in cream cheese, 2 Tbsp. parmesan, garlic powder and pepper; cook 2 min. or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly with whisk. Stir in chicken.
DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture and chopped cooked broccoli before serving, toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan.

This was a great dinner! Rave reviews from the family. We did not use the noodles. Instead we had it over rice. Our family is a rice eating family. We had a little left over for my lunch tomorrow. I'll have to hide it from my husband in the back. Thanks for a delicious meal.
