Comfort food....yummy skinny alfredo chicken

It has been too long since I have blogged!!!  Life just continued to happen and now we are less than a week from Christmas!!! WOOHOO!!!

Today is the 1st major snow storm in the area and it is now official....no school tomorrow!!! Cheers and many smiles are going on in my home tonight.

I have been in major baking and cooking mode with this time of year.....and it hasn't been "healthy" foods either :)  Although I have made cupcakes, cake, bars, cookies, reindeer tracks and poop :)....I did make a delicious dish that is soooo yummy and lower calories/fat than its original version......
Alfredo chicken:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp crushed garlic
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1 C. chicken broth
1/4 C. non fat evaporated milk
1/4 C. non fat Greek yogurt
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 C. Parmesan cheese
2 cooked and diced chicken breast
2 C favorite cooked green veggie ( I used green beans)
2 C cooked whole wheat penne pasta

Saute oil and garlic, wisk in broth, milk and yogurt.  Cook for a couple of minutes and add salt/pepper to taste.  Remove from heat and stir in cheese.  Add remaining ingredients and serve warm.

We had NO left overs and the girls were licking their plates clean....green beans and all!!
I hope you enjoy.
