Fettuccine with Chicken and Creamy Mushroom Tomato Sauce



8 oz dry fettuccine pasta, uncooked
Olive oil no-stick cooking spray
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
½ tsp garlic powder
1 can (24 oz) mushroom pasta sauce
½ cup chopped fresh basil, divided
½ cup half-and-half or whole milk
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

Cook pasta. Spray skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder; cook 3 minutes or until done. Remove from skillet.

Add pasta sauce and half of basil to skillet. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. 

Stirring this is pretty cathartic.


Stir in half-and-half and 3 Tbsp cheese. Add remaining basil, pasta and chicken to skillet; toss. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Everything's better with cheese!

See that nice big chunk of chicken? That's what makes this dish tasty.



My Rating: 4/5 "It's a basic dish but a good one. Fresh basil is always a win on pasta dishes, and in this case it accents the chicken nicely as well as the noodles. A solid weeknight meal!"
