This Cottage Cheese Chicken Alfredo is the perfect low calorie, high protein comfort meal! This alfredo is also way lower in fat than your typical alfredo because I substituted those heavy creams, butter & cheeses typically used with low fat cottage cheese! This alfredo is TOO GOOD. It tastes IDENTICAL to your typical alfredo. When you take your first bite you are going to be in heaven let me tell you.
This dish is gluten free and you could easily make it dairy free by using a cheese substitute that fits your dietary needs.
You can make this dish even higher in protein by using a protein chickpea pasta!
