Ingredients

• 4 - 3 oz skinless boneless chicken breasts
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 12 dried apricot halves, julienned
• 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
• 1 TBSP cornstarch
• 2 TBSPs brandy (plain or apricot-flavored)
• 4 cups hot cooked spinach fettucine
• 2 TBSPs pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

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. 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.
3. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine the conrstarch 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.
