Chicken Alfredo with Palmini Noodles
Ingredients:
- 4 oz cooked lean chicken breast
- 2 servings Palmini lasagna noodles, cut into strips
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 2 oz light cream cheese
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried basil (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Palmini Noodles: Drain and rinse the noodles well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for up to 45 minutes, or until very soft.
- Cook the Chicken: Dice the chicken and cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly season with garlic powder and onion powder. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add light cream cheese, almond milk, and chicken broth over low-medium heat. Stir continuously until smooth.
- Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, and dried basil (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine: Add the cooked chicken and spinach to the sauce, stirring until the spinach wilts.
- Add the Palmini noodles, mixing everything well. Let it cook for another minute to blend flavors.
- You may need to add a little water to reach a smooth, creamy texture. Add slowly to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy!
