Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounce package fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 12 dried apricot halves, julienned
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons brandy (plain or apricot-flavored)
  • 4 ounces dried spinach fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons pecan halves, coarsely chopped
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. While cooking chicken, boil water. Add fettuccine and cook until ready.
  3. Spray the same skillet with more nonstick cooking spray. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, apricots and nutmeg; cook, scraping up the browned bits, about 1 minute.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and brandy; add to the chicken mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Serve the fettuccine, topped with the chicken mixture; sprinkle with pecans.
