Chicken Bacon Alfredo

If you are craving chicken alfredo but don't want the fat and calories, this is the recipe for you! Creamy and delicious but on the lighter side.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped chicken breasts

• A dash of salt

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 cups chopped broccoli

• 2 cups milk (I used skim milk.)

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 4 bacon strips, cooked and chopped

• Parsley

• 1/2 lb. cooked spaghetti noodles

Directions

In a large sauce pan, cook the chopped chicken in some olive oil until no longer pink. Sprinkle with pepper and add the garlic cloves and broccoli. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add the milk, Parmesan cheese, bacon and stir until well combined.* Add the cooked spaghetti noodles and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with parsley.

*Note: Since I used skim milk, the sauce was a bit runny for my liking. So I whisked together equal parts of cornstarch and water and added that to the pot BEFORE adding the noodles. After cooking for a minute or two, the sauce thickened well.
