In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d give you a recipe for something a little more decadent and filling, yet still clean and healthy. It’s even low in fat and calories!

Oh boy was this dish yummy! After I made the Alfredo sauce, my old habits creative juices kicked in, and I got to thinking about all the other wonderful dishes I missed eating at restaurants.

I just couldn’t pass up the chance to try some Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine. I even added some mushrooms! (Sorry, added the broccoli and mushrooms after I took the above photo… oops.)

Here’s how I put it together.
