My husband can't seem to get enough Chicken Alfredo. I don't make it very often because it is usually ranks quite high in the calorie department. That was, until we found this tasty recipe! My husband said it tasted better than the "regular" version!
Guiltless Chicken Alfredo Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups low-fat milk
1/3 cup (3 oz) low fat cream cheese
2-3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves, minced garlic
1 cup grated, Parmesan cheese
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
1/3 cup (3 oz) low fat cream cheese
2-3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves, minced garlic
1 cup grated, Parmesan cheese
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
Directions:
Place milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. In a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on med-high heat and add garlic. Let the garlic saute for about 30 seconds, you don’t want to burn it. Add milk mixture to the pan. Stir constantly for about 3 or 4 minutes or until it just comes to a simmer. Keep stirring and let it cook for a few minutes more. It should be much thicker now.
When it’s nice and thickened remove the pan from the heat. Add the cheese and chicken, stir it up and then cover immediately. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before using. It will continue to thicken upon standing. Also, if you have leftovers in the fridge, the sauce will thicken almost into a solid. Just re-heat and add a little milk and it will be back to normal again.

DeleteI can't wait to try this! I've made one that is better than Olive Garden's but it's way to high in everything and so bad for you that it's good for once a year but it's out of this world good. I will gladly trade that for this if I can have it more than once a year LOL.
