Preparation

Step 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.

Spray the same skillet with more nonstick cooking spray. Add the 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.

Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.

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 the pecans.
