The lighter sauce doesn’t use heavy cream or butter, yet it doesn’t skimp on flavor. Amy Dong

Why This Recipe Stands Out

We’re all about comfort food, but sometimes those heavy, creamy recipes can weigh us down—but not this Healthy Chicken Alfredo recipe! I worked and re-worked this recipe until nailing down a dish that is lighter, healthier, and doesn’t sacrifice any flavor. Why we love this:
  • Lighter Sauce: By using milk instead of heavy cream and butter, we keep the creaminess of the Alfredo with less guilt. It’s like our Chicken Fettucini Alfredo with Broccoli, but healthier!
  • Healthy Protein: This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts, making it a perfect addition to your high-protein dinner rotation just like this Chicken Florentine Pasta.
  • Family-Friendly: It makes a great family meal and is delicious and nice enough for dinner guests on the weekend. Also try our Healthy Chicken Piccata.
  • Choose Your Veggies: Use zucchini, broccoli, or spinach to add a healthy dose of vegetables into this dish.
