Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo

March 13, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hey, hey hey!!!

How are you doing today?  I know I have talked about the weather the past few days, but I am sooooooooo loving it!  It’s been sunny and warm.  I have major Spring Fever!  I don’t want to work or do anything except sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.  Oh how I miss it so much!  After all when I had my Physical, my results were perfect, except me, the ex-sun goddess, was lacking in Vitamin D.  Crazy!!!  I thought with all the sun laying I have done in my lifetime, that I would have built up enough Vitamin D to get me through the rest of my life.  But I guess not, I guess that means more sun for me!!  But just a little!!

Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo

 

 


 

 

 

So the weather is nice, yet I am sharing with you today the most cheesy, comforting food I have made in a  long time.  This is my not one, not two, but Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo.  This was sure a treat to make.  Last week I was on a major pasta kick, and I had in mind that I wanted to make Chicken Parmesan,  but the little vision of my Husband was in my head, with him repeating “I don’t like chicken and tomatoes together.”  Gosh I still can’t get over that, but anyway I had chicken to use, so I thought why not make my Chicken Alfredo?  I haven’t had that in a long time and next to spaghetti and meatballs it’s my Husbands favorite pasta dish!

Three Chicken Chicken Alfredo

This is one of those quick weeknight meals, which makes it even nicer.  I did what I could to lighten up an Alfredo sauce without sacrificing flavor, thickness or creaminess.  It’s made with 1/3 fat cream cheese, lite mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese, mixed in with some butter and non-fat milk and presto you have a nice thick sauce.  When the sauce cools a bit it thickens up very nicely.  For the chicken, I just cut up some boneless chicken breast and cooked in a skillet, but to save on time, you could also use already cooked chicken like from a rotisserie chicken.  The sauce in general takes less time then waiting for the water for the pasta to boil!

Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo

This pasta dish was a hit with my Husband and I saved some left overs for Jenny and the next day she sent me a text message telling me she really enjoyed the pasta.  I love that!!  It’s nice when someone appreciates a meal that you cook!  By the way for the pasta, I used Trader Joe’s High Fiber Penne Pasta, which I really like.  I like whole wheat pasta, but my Husband wont’ touch it, so I sneak in healthy pasta with the high fiber.  lol!!  Hope he doesn’t read this!  Otherwise he will get all of my secrets on how I sneak healthy food into his meals.

    So funny… I’m the same with the high fiber (white) pasta with my family, too!

    I have made the same sort of Alfredo using lowfat cream cheese! I also like to add butternut squash puree to it to add some vitamins and veggie power! Thanks for sharing another great recipe!

      I have used the fat free cream cheese, but it comes out with lumps. I don’t mind the taste but for pictures, I decided to use 1/3 less fat. Ohhhh, I bet it would be great added to butternut squash puree!! Now I want to try that!

    Thank you for posting this recipe, for now I know exactly what I’m making for dinner tonight. Plus I have everything I need on hand! I’m in the same boat. My dad won’t eat any pasta that’s not regular pasta. He says he can “taste the difference in flavor of the pasta between regular and whole wheat.” I hardly doubt that! So I use high fiber pasta as well. My mom keeps the boxes from the regular pasta and just puts the healthier pasta in the regular box. As long as he doesn’t see the label, he’ll never know the difference! It’s so sad we have to go through such great lengths to get our families to eat healthier.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.

I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
