Servings 4 servings
Calories 782kcal
Ingredients
- 14 ounces thin spaghetti
- 1 ⅘ cups grilled chicken breasts
- 6 slices shaved ham
- 16 ounces Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo
- 4 wedges creamy swiss
Instructions
- Boil pasta as directed on package. Drain.
- Microwave the chicken according to package directions (there are also skillet directions if you choose that instead).
- Slice the ham into smaller pieces. (about 1" pcs).
- Stir the jar of sauce into the pasta. I usually turn the stove on low and add about 1/2 cup of water with the sauce (I actually fill the jar up with 1/4 cup of water, shake it hard to get ALL the sauce and then pour it all right into the pot).
- Add the chicken and ham and stir to coat with sauce.
- Add the wedges of creamy swiss and stir until melted.
Notes
In this healthier version, I was able to cut the calories almost in half, and the FAT by nearly 2/3! I cringe at the fact that we have eaten it the old way too many times. I prefer the flavor this skinny version has... it's FAR better.
