I think this Skinny Chicken Alfredo really speaks for itself with a Healthy Alfredo Sauce made without butter, heavy cream, or cream cheese. The flavor is still creamy and amazing with the same “comfort food” type of feel, but way less calories and fat.
How to make Healthy Chicken Alfredo:
Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces, about 1 inch, and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet and brown on all sides for 1-2 minutes (you don’t need to cook it all the way through). Add minced garlic and sauté for one minute. Add chicken broth, milk, flour, onion powder, basil, parsley and uncooked pasta to pan and stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring once or twice during this time. Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Recipe Variations:
Dairy Free: Replace milk with a dairy free alternative, like soy, or almond milk. Gluten Free: Use 1 tablespoon cornstarch in place of the flour. Substitute gluten-free pasta. Vegetarian: Omit Chicken (add veggies if desired) and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Extra Veggies: Add broccoli florets or your favorite type of veggies! Throw them in during the last few minutes of cooking.
