High Protein Chicken Alfredo Bake

High Protein Chicken Alfredo Bake is great way to get your protein but also enjoy the foods you love!

I love pasta, especially Alfredo, it’s a problem when I have health goals. I am obviously not perfect at this, but I’m trying to make some lifestyle changes and it’s a day at a time. Now, you need to use at least 2% fat cottage cheese if not full fat.

When baking you want to make sure that it doesn’t curdle when in the oven. I loved this recipe because it was quick and easy!
