Like I previously mentioned although I have to change my diet, I do not plan on cutting my favorite foods out, I plan on making them healthier and altering them to fit my diet.
My #1 FAVORITE food on the planet is Chicken Alfredo, which we all know has like a zillion calories. :(
So I played around and experimented a little and made mine a lot healthier and just as tasty!
"Skinny" Chicken Alfredo
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp. coconut or olive oil
1 cup almond milk
1 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp. gluten-free all purpose flour
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper for seasoning
1 package whole wheat pasta (gluten-free pasta would be ideal, but I didn't have any on hand)
Chopped tomatoes for garnish (optional)
In a large pot cook pasta until al dente. Drain Water and place in large bowl. In large pan sautee garlic using 12 tbsp. oil for 1-2 minutes over medium high heat. Add in chicken and cook thoroughly. In medium pot with remaining 1/2 tbsp. oil brown flour. Add in chicken broth and mix out any lumps of flour. Slowly pour in almond milk and simmer for about 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Mix in grated parmesan. Pour sauce over pasta and toss in chicken. Serve and enjoy! :)
