This was my first time making alfredo sauce and it turned out delicious. Very flavorful and is a healthier option than store bought jars. I recommend adding some lemon juice after taking the pan off the heat, if you like citrus. It brings out even more flavors!
Hi my name is Sydeny, I made this recipe in the video above.This is a really yummy recipe and fun to make. My brother and cousin loved eating it!
Such a good and easy recipe. Oh yeah and healthier! Every other recipe I see for alfredo sauce includes butter so I'm glad this one didn't. I'm more of an inexperienced cooker so I first I was worried why the consistency was a bit watery but if you let it cook that goes away.
My kids love this recipe. My oldest daugher has lactose intolerance so I use lactose free milk and set aside a portion for her before I add the cheese. I do like to dice a small onion and brown it with the chicken.
I recently recommeded it to my sister for an event where she taught 35 high school cross country runners how to prepare healthy foods. She reported that they loved it; no leftovers could be found!
I used to make chicken alfredo with the alfredo sauce in a can. But this tastes so much better - fresh and more flavor. AND healthier!
