Chicken Alfredo and Veggie Bake
Chicken alfredo veggie bake is low carb, trim healthy mama s, and so good!
This recipe is easy to make. If you need something that your family will like that will get veggies in them, try this recipe. My whole family loved this! When I started the recipe, I planned on making it with just the chicken, veggies, and homemade sauce. I ended up thinning the sauce a little and serving it over on plan pasta. If your family will eat spaghetti squash or other veggie pasta, even better!!
The chicken and veggies cook in the oven.
This recipe is so easy. The chicken and veggies bake in the oven and you make your sauce in a skillet on your stove. Making your sauce is so easy. You know the ingredients that are in it and it comes together fast. I have bought so many jars of alfredo sauce in my life but now make it from scratch. It’s that easy!
Switch out the veggies for ones that your family will eat.
I used yellow squash, broccoli, and mushrooms. My family loved it! If you don’t want to serve this over pasta, keep your alfredo sauce thicker. That was my original plan, but changed it up at the last minute. I used dreamfields pasta. If you use dreamfields and can find fettuccini noodles, even better. I can’t find those in my area so I used spaghetti. Make this soon, it is so yummy!
