Butternut Squash Alfredo with Chicken & Spinach
One of my top tips for healthy eating is to swap out starchy pasta with spiralized veggie noodles. This Butternut Squash Alfredo with Chicken & Spinach recipe is one of the best uses of vegetable noodles. I spiralize butternut squash and mix it with garlic, chicken, and spinach to make a delicious alfredo.Â
Start by spiralizing butternut squash. Combine broth, wine, chicken tenders, and garlic in a medium saucepan and cook the chicken through. Cook squash in water. Meanwhile, chop or shred the chicken. Transfer the garlic and broth to a blender and process until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch mixture and whisk until slightly thickened. Add 1 cup of Parmesan, sour cream, butter, pepper and nutmeg. Return the chicken to the sauce. Pour the sauce over the noodles and serve topped with Parmesan and parsley. Amazing!
