Healthy and Easy Chicken Alfredo

What is up ladies and gentlemen. If you’re a pasta lover, then chicken alfredo, as you and me both know, is one of the best things you can get on this planet. But unfortunately for us, that is a dish so high in carbs and calories, it’s not really good for losing a little weight and building muscle.

Why You’ll Love This

I’m telling you, once you try a bite of this, you’ll never order chicken alfredo from a restaurant again. Dieting, losing weight, building muscle is all about following a diet that you actually enjoy. Literally, guys, you try this one. I know you’re going to love it. Like this is absolutely insane. You’d serve them this, they’d have no idea. They’d think your chicken alfredo was excellent. They’d kiss the cook. They’d commend the chef. Give you a little pat on the rear end, bud.

30. Let it sit in there for about a minute or two on a low heat, just to make sure those noodles and that chicken heat up appropriately.

Cooking Tips

Any noodle you want to use, you can do that. If you want to use some of the higher protein ones or chickpea pasta, go right ahead. If you really want to speed this recipe up, you can just use pre-cooked chicken. If you time this up right, literally your pasta and your chicken will be done at the exact same time. Cook the chicken however you want. For me, this is just the most convenient option. If you are making a big batch for multiple people for a family dinner, just take everything I showed you and multiply it out accordingly. Just make sure your pans are big enough to support it and you’re going to be fine.

Serving Suggestions

I did put a little bit of powdered Parmesan on top. Don’t forget, you’re allowed to scrape up any of that extra sauce.

At the end of the day, it’s all about energy balance, law of thermodynamics. Are you eating less calories than your body needs in a day? If you’re doing that, you’re going to see results. Folks, as much as it pains me to say it, I really think this might be the best recipe I’ve ever created. Seriously, you’ve got to try this one.
