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!
Be sure to try my Low Carb Angel Food Cake as well!
If you end up having any leftovers, you can store them in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. I like to let mine defrost a few hours before I want to enjoy it again in my fridge for that perfect creamy consistency.

Blend the milk, cottage cheese, cornstarch, and spices in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Pour the mixture in a large pan or wok (I have a HexClad Hybrid Wok). Add the parmesan cheese.
Cook over medium heat until heated through and smooth and the cheese has melted. Add any additional seasonings to taste, if desired.
Add in your cooked pasta, peas, and chicken. Allow the flavors to soak in and heat through for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately & enjoy!
