Description

Grab your big ol' iron skillet, just like Grandma used to use. This recipe is part of our Family Skillet Meals that begins on page 57 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. This is the sensible way to eat Alfredo - still all the taste of the good stuff, but without abusing those calories!

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (tenderloins or thighs; thawed, drained and cut into bite size pieces)
  • TH Mineral Salt (to season chicken)
  • black pepper (to season chicken)
  • garlic powder (to season chicken)
  • onion powder (to season chicken)
  • 2 Tbs butter
    • For the Sauce
  • 4 Tbs butter (1/2 stick)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated, green can kind is fine)
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper (can use up to 1 tsp)
  • 1/4 tsp TH Mineral Salt
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup TH Glucomannan (Gluccie) (can use up to 1 tsp)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated, part skim)
  • 28 oz konjac noodles (1-family size package, optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders. Place in a large skillet and sauté all at once in the butter over medium-high heat. Sear on all sides, then transfer the partly cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  2. 2
    Make the sauce. Put all the ingredients except the Gluccie and mozzarella in the skillet and place over medium heat. Slowly whisk in 1⁄2 teaspoon Gluccie. Simmer the sauce for several minutes; it should thicken somewhat as it cooks and reduces. If after 5 minutes it is not thick enough, add another 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon Gluccie, whisking well. Simmer for a couple more minutes, then add the grated cheese and stir to combine.
  3. 3
    If using the Not Naughty Noodles, add them to the sauce- pan and simmer so they take on the flavor of the sauce, 2 to 3 more minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the chicken to the skillet and simmer for another 5 min- utes, until cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings, then serve to your liking—“own it”!
Note

Serving Ideas:
If your budget does not allow for the Not-Naughty Noodles, you can serve the chicken and sauce over Troodles (page 222) or Spaghetti Squash (page 224). Growing children may enjoy their portion over whole-grain noodles.
