Healthy Chicken French Onion Pasta

Diet friendly pasta.....Yup I have found what is probably my new favorite pasta dish to make!!!  I adapted this from a recipe that I found on Pinterest a while back and I couldn't believe how easy and tasty it was.  I was even more amazed that when I plugged the recipe into my calorie counter it came in at around 250 calories, 3 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, and a whopping 24 grams of protein for a huge serving.  The BF even made the comment that it tasted like something that should be horrible for you, which means that you will feel satisfied without all of the guilt!  This dish is perfectly hearty for the winter months and the french onion flavor makes the whole house smell amazing.
