Blackened chicken alfredo is an easy 5 ingredient one pot dish that can be made in under 30 minutes. The choice of seasoning you can add to your chicken is up to you or if you don’t like chicken use something else like shrimp or lobster. I used Dak’s Original Red seasoning to flavor my chicken, but you can use cajun or taco seasoning. Both of those would be really good! Chicken gives the dish some extra added protein instead of it all being just carbs. It is also a nice zero point add into the noodles.

Blackened Chicken Alfredo

This alfredo recipe is only 5 ingredients:

  • Noodles - There are so many different kinds of noodle shapes here. I went with good old spaghetti but most alfredo dishes call for fettuccine because the sauce sticks to the noodles better. If you are gluten-free, just use gluten-free pasta.
  • Fat-Free Half and Half - If you have a milk allergy feel free to sub unsweetened almond milk for this.
  • Parmesan Cheese - There’s really no low point replacement for parmesan cheese. You just have to use it sparingly.
  • Butter - I like to use Land-O Lakes light butter. It comes in a small container next to the other butter that you find in your grocery store and yes it does exist. Some people don’t believe me when I list in my recipes.
  • Garlic - This helps flavor the alfredo sauce
