Chicken Alfredo Meal Prep

Ingredients

• 8 oz Protein Pasta (high‑protein pasta such as chickpea or lentil pasta; cook al dente)
• 24 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1‑inch strips after cooking for easy slicing)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder (for chicken and sauce seasoning)
• 1 tsp Onion Powder (for chicken and sauce seasoning)
• ½ tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground preferred)
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (adds subtle smoky flavor)
• 2 sprays Olive Oil Spray (light coating for air‑fryer)
• 1 cup Fairlife 2% Milk (provides creamy base without excess fat)
• 7 wedges Light Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges (light version; adds creaminess)
• 2 oz Fat‑Free Mozzarella Cheese (rinse before adding to remove excess liquid; shredded)
• ½ cup Pasta Water (reserved from cooking pasta to thin sauce)

Instructions

1. Cook Protein Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add 8 oz protein pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: boiling

2. Season Chicken

   Pat the 24 oz chicken breast dry, then sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Toss to coat all sides.

   Time: PT5M

3. Air Fry Chicken

   Lightly spray the seasoned chicken with olive oil spray, place in the air‑fryer basket in a single layer, and air fry at 375°F for 12‑15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 375°F

4. Blend Sauce

   In a blender combine 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk, 7 light Laughing Cow wedges, and the same seasonings used for the chicken (garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika). Blend on low until smooth.

   Time: PT3M

5. Heat Sauce

   Pour the blended sauce into a large skillet over low heat. Warm gently for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil or simmer, or the sauce will separate.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low

6. Combine Pasta and Cheese

   Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. Thin the sauce with reserved pasta water as needed. Sprinkle in the rinsed 2 oz fat‑free mozzarella and stir until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.

   Temperature: low

7. Slice Chicken and Portion

   Slice the air‑fried chicken breast into strips. Divide the pasta‑sauce mixture into three equal containers and top each with an equal amount of sliced chicken. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.
