Cajun Chicken Alfredo
Blackened chicken, silky Alfredo, zero heavy cream. 60g protein.
The Alfredo here is cottage cheese, Parmesan and a splash of milk blended until it pours like heavy cream, then warmed gently in the same pan as the chicken so it picks up every bit of Cajun spice. Blackened, brick-red cutlets on top make it taste like the chain-restaurant plate at well under half the calories.
