Chicken Pesto Alfredo Recipe!

This is one of my new favorites...YUM!  It reminds me of something I used to eat at Olive Garden.

Stir all of the following up in a small bowl and microwave in 20 second increments until heated through.  Stir after each 20 seconds.  About a minute or so all together.
  • 10 g of Pesto = 47 calories; 0 g protein
  • 40 g of Alfredo Sauce = 46 calories; 1 g protein
  • 3 oz chicken breast cooked chopped up = 140 calories; 26 g protein

Serves 1.  TOTAL: 233 calories; 27 g protein


Sorry for no pic of what it looks like when it's cooked/finished... I ate it before I remembered to take the pic. YUM!

PS: if you don't have a food scale yet, get one...in my opinion, it is one of the best tools...period.

  1. 1 word- YUM! That looks fantastic. I buy that sauce all the time to use in recipes, but never thought of using it on chicken without pasta. Brilliant!

  3. I use my scale all the time! I agree best kitchen tool...right next to my kitchen scissors. I have all of those things in my kitchen! Perhaps I will have it for dinner tomorrow!

    Can I ask...how do you get your veggies in? I have been eating mostly protein and adding fiber to it like crazy the last few days. I am full after a little protein!

    I have a food scale and weigh everything on it - you are right its a necessary tool if you want to loose and maintain !

  10. Thanks for sharing this. I just had this for lunch, and it was super yummy! I used canned chunk chicken (since I'm still on blended) and Quadrupled the recipe since the can is 12oz, I then divided it up into a few 6oz batches for another time. I am not a cook by any means, but I really did love this! Thanks again!
