Anyway, tonight I created a new dish based on what I was craving and it turned out even better than expected. I didn't follow a recipe or anything but here is what I did:
Southern Girl's Super Skinny Chicken & Veggie Alfredo
Small spaghetti squash
1 large chicken breast or small package of tenders (I used tenders)
1 cup brocolli
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Diced garlic
Classico Light Alfredo sauce (in jar)
Roast cut up broccoli till lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside. Cut chicken into bite size pieces, season to taste, and cook in skillet sprayed with nonstick spray. While chicken is cooking, sautee mushrooms with garlic. I used about 1 Tbsp. of garlic but you can omit or add more, based on your taste. Pierce squash with fork and microwave in 5 minute increments till soft. Shred squash with fork once sliced in half and seeds are removed. If preparing for family, mix all ingredients together, adding enough sauce to be creamy. Season to taste (I used light cajun seasoning and onion powder). Cook on low till sauce is heated through.
My husband is working this week so it was just me eating. I mixed only enough for one serving. All leftover ingredients can be mixed before eating. I will definitely be making this dish again! Hope you enjoy:)
Yummy! That looks good. Glad you had a relaxing day. Until Next Time, Shauna {www.shaunawyrick.com}
ReplyDeleteYum that sounds SO DELISH! I can't wait to try more recipes of spaghetti squash...it's so fun to experiment with!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan. This was only my second time using it but I'm in love. 40 something calories a cup? Sign me up!
DeleteI can not wait to try this! I saw the picture on your instagram and was hoping you'd blog it :)
ReplyDeleteIt was too good not to share:)
DeleteSounds delicious, I still haven't tried spaghetti squash, I need to do that and this recipe soon!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to try this! I have a spagehtti squash in my fridge that's now been ear marked!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to refrigerate them. Duh! Now they'll last longer:)
Deleteoh man- I miss alfredo sauce. That is one of my old fatty fav's... what a fun way to lighten it up.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you don't have to go without! This Classico one is only 45 calories per 1/4 a cup and with a little seasoning it is DELISH!
