Delicious Greek Yogurt Chicken Alfredo

This chicken Alfredo recipe is bomb!

I’m usually not much of an Alfredo fan. I’m more of a spaghetti fan but I needed to do something with the rest of the rotisserie chicken from the other day that I used to make my spicy lemon chicken and rice. So I decided to make Alfredo, only I didn’t have cream or even whole milk so I improvised!

This is healthy Alfredo.

Well…somewhat healthy.

Instead of cream or whole milk, I used 1 % milk, chicken broth, and Greek yogurt. Yes! Greek yogurt! And it turned out amazing! Hands down, best Alfredo I’ve ever made! And healthier!

I must be on a lemon kick lately too. But it pairs with chicken so well! And this was delicious so, I’ve got no complaints.

My picky eater husband even approved! So that’s definitely a win in my house!
