Skinny Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

Tonight I tried another recipie off of Pinterest.  I made Skinny Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo, it was pretty good but I felt it was missing something.  Hubby bought fat free chicken broth so that was probably the problem.  I added salt to mine and it helped.  When hubby got home and fixed his plate together he added bacon and salt....I just starred and thought omg why didn't I think of adding bacon!  He said it was really good.  So, that's it, next time i'm adding bacon! :)

Skinny Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled and cut into chunks (about 2 cups)
2 cups roasted broccoli florets
8 ounces fettuccine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in the flour until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, Greek yogurt, milk, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a low boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring gently, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan.
Add cooked chicken and broccoli to sauce mixture, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss to combine and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
