This easy and delicious low carb Chicken Alfredo Dinner recipe is perfect!
Having super easy and family friendly recipes that are also delicious is such an important tool to have. Life often gets crazy and drive-thrus call our names. Keep the ingredients for this super easy crockpot recipe and a delicious family pleasing dinner will be at your fingertips. This recipe is really simple and just uses basic ingredients, but the flavor is amazing!
This is another dump and go recipe (I am trying to come up with something different to call these recipes).
The convenience of dump and go recipes is so nice. But to have healthier versions- low carb recipes with the same convenience, I am so thankful. We can still serve our family meals that are healthier than their counterparts, but just as easy and quick. I also only used 1/2 a box of Dreamfields Penne Pasta. This recipe serves more than 4 (depending on the size of the people being served). I would say at least 6 servings. That is just barely 1/2 a serving of the pasta! Saving money and carbs.
Add veggies and you have a whole meal!
I added a package of cooked broccoli and cauliflower. I just wanted broccoli, but didn’t see one in my freezer. I think 2 packages of frozen, cooked veggies would be great. And cheap! You could use the packages of spinach that I have used those in so many recipes. Sometimes with littles, this will work and help them get in a veggie serving. Who am I kidding? Even big kids sometimes! I can’t recommend this recipe enough. Easy, filling, budget friendly, and family friendly!!
