High-protein, low-calorie Chicken Alfredo meal prep! 🍝🔥 Perfect for staying on track with your fitness goals while enjoying a creamy, flavorful dish. 💪✨ Ingredients (for 5 servings): * 2 lbs cubed chicken * 9.5 oz Barilla protein angel hair pasta (dry) * 250 ml 2% evaporated milk * 40 g low moisture mozzarella * 50 g shredded Parmesan * 100 ml chicken stock * 1/2 white onion, chopped * 4 cloves garlic, chopped * Seasonings: Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, paprika (to taste) * 100 g 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese Instructions: 1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the Barilla protein angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water. 2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the cubed chicken with Cajun seasoning, paprika, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside. 3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes. 4. Make the Sauce: To the onions and garlic, add the evaporated milk, chicken stock, and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly. 5. Add the Cheese: Stir in the shredded Parmesan and mozzarella. Let the cheeses melt into the sauce, stirring occasionally. 6. Combine Chicken and Pasta: Add the cooked chicken back into the sauce, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Adjust the seasoning as needed. 7. Serve: Divide the pasta mixture into 5 servings. Garnish with extra Parmesan or a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, spicy Cajun Alfredo!
