Description

Creamy, spicy, chicken goodness without all the calories!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces, weight Chicken Breasts (approximately 4 Breasts)
  • 2 Tablespoons Blackening Seasoning
  • 1 package Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce (in The Seasoning Packet Aisle, 1.4 Ounce Packet)
  • 3 pieces Laughing Cow Cheese (from An 8-piece Round)
  • 1 cup Low Fat Milk
  • 4 cups Cooked Wheat Pasta
  • Parmesan Cheese (garnish, If Desired)
  • Parsley (garnish, If Desired)

Preparation

Season chicken breasts with blackening seasoning and cook them (pan fry or grill). Set aside.

Combine the package of alfredo sauce mix, milk and Laughing Cow wedges in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir for 1 minute and turn the heat off. The sauce will thicken as it stands.

Cook the noodles (you want 4 cups after cooking), drain and return to the pot. Toss with parmesan cheese.

Assemble in 4 bowls by layering the noodles, sauce, chicken and topping with some more sauce. Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese (if desired) and serve.

Hi Taralynnb – you can get blackening seasoning in the spice aisle at any grocery store. The one I used was by Chef Paul Prudhomme, it’s a white topped bottle with his picture on the front.

I had a chance to make this. It was absolutely amazing. The only difference was that I used Ronzoni Smart Taste Penne Pasta, and I added broccoli. It was amazing, the only complaint I got was there I didnt make more!

This dish is a winner! My husband ate every morsel I put on his plate as did my little girl. Neither of them knew it was low fat pasta!

My new low fat comfort food! So easy and so good! Everyone (including my 2 year old autistic daughter) loved it!

My boyfriend said that this is one of his top 3 favorite meals. High praise for being low fat!

Made this today, and it was a hit! I was worried, at first, that the sauce wouldn’t be quite enough for 4. However, it was just right!
