• Blackened Chicken Alfredo

    super easy

    This Blackened Chicken Alfredo is deliciously spicy and creamy using my Air Fryer Blackened Chicken. 

    The spicy chicken and creamy sauce is a perfect flavor combination. You guessed it, it’s quick and easy too.

    Even better … add volume and veggies to your meal with some zoodles. Use any of the serving sizes noted on the recipe plus add in some zoodles and you’ve got yourself a huge serving with low fat and high protein! You can also add in Healthy Noodles from Costco. I love both of these options to add volume with very little effect to your macros.

    Recipe card lists macros for servings as 4, 5 and 6 below!

    Enjoy and let me know if you try it!

      Since I have to be dairy free do you think we can alter the recipe and still be within the macros? This looks amazing!

      Can you create a video on how to enter this recipe into my fitness pal? I weighed all my raw ingredients & entered them & then changed the serving size to grams after it was cooked but it is not coming out right

        I figured it out, for some reason it didn’t like when I weighed my milk in grams

      This was really good! I’m not sure why the 3 star ratings when asking a question, maybe because that’s the default?

      I blended the milk, laughing cow and cream cheese in my smoothie blender and it blended nicely, poured into the pan then added the Parmesan. Wasn’t too spicy. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes. Yum!!!

      Made this the past 2 Mondays and it was a huge hit – my 3 picky (10, 12 and 15 yr old) eaters loved it!!!

      My husband took one bite of this and said, “I’d eat this again” so I’d call that a win! Swapped blackened chicken for regular chicken since I can’t handle spicy foods. This one is definitely going into our weekly rotation. You wouldn’t even know it’s macro friendly based on the taste!
