Ingredients:
Salt
Pepper
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
2 zucchini, thinly sliced
4 4-ounce thin skinless, boneless chicken breasts
12 ounces whole wheat fettuccine
1 T wheat flour
1 cup cold skim milk
1/2 cup evaporated nonfat milk
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions:Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 clove garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the zucchini, cover and cook until tender, stirring, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Heat another tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water; return the pasta to the pot.
Whisk the flour and skim milk in a bowl. Place the remaining 1 clove garlic and 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, 30 seconds. Add the flour-milk mixture and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cheese; stir to melt, 1 minute.
Cut the chicken into strips. Toss with the pasta, sauce, zucchini and parsley, adding the reserved pasta water to loosen.
