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.

    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 Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
