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!
    This looks so delectable! I usually will cook extra chicken for quick dishes like this… perfect! Thank you for sharing this cheesy-licious pasta dish! (=

    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 spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.
