How to Make Bacon Chicken Alfredo Healthy
Chicken alfredo (particularly with bacon it!) might not seem to be the healthiest fare. But examine the elements on this recipe with the label of most any pre-made alfredo sauce jar and also you may be satisfied in any other case!

Shirataki noodles are already cooked, which makes them tremendous handy. They simply should be rinsed and tossed into the sauce. I often hold a number of packages readily available for this dish and for Thai peanut butter noodles. I usually use this type.
However, you may completely use vegetable noodles or another sort of noodle if you would like. When I’ve time, I like to make use of my spiralizer to make veggie noodles, or use shredded cabbage, or spaghetti squash. I like the additional vitamins from the greens and the totally different flavors they add to dishes.
