How to Make Chicken Pasta Alfredo

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a sauté pan over medium heat.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of milk and 4 oz of cream cheese to the pan, stirring constantly to prevent boiling over.

Continue stirring until the cream cheese melts and combines with the milk, which may look like cottage cheese at first.

Once melted and smooth, add in 3/4 cups of grated Parmesan cheese and mix well until thickened.

Add the drained chunk chicken breast and thawed peas to the sauce.

Add the cooked and drained fettuccine to the pan and use tongs to coat the pasta with the sauce, chicken, and peas evenly.

Plate the dish and garnish with the reserved Parmesan cheese.
