Healthy Chicken Broccoli Alfredo step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Once preheated place halved spaghetti squash in, facing down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 40min.
  2. Combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, milk, and all seasoning in a pot. Heat slightly on low, while blending to a smooth sauce with a hand blender or immersion blender. (I used an immersion blender) once blended take off of heat and set to the side.
  3. Begin to sauté chicken, once about 80% cooked, add broccoli..
  4. After 40min take out spaghetti squash. Allow to cool for 5-10min. Once cool, begin to shred with a fork into spaghetti like noodles..
  5. Add squash noodles to chicken and broccoli, then follow with the Alfredo sauce. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, and bring heat down to a lower heat. Allow to simmer for about 5-6min to allow all of the flavors to marry..
  6. Enjoy! Best next thing to the REAL thing!.

Strain the pasta and broccoli in a colander, and run cold water over to prevent the broccoli from over cooking. The presence of vitamin-C, sulphur and certain amino acids make broccoli a very good detoxifier. Alfredo sauce is certainly not one of those "clean-eating" New Years type dish, but with all this broccoli, it all balances out, right? Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo: Substitute grilled chicken breasts for the skinless, boneless chicken. Cook as directed for the chicken above until the shrimp are cooked through.
