Hi Friends! During this time of year, I strive to lighten up recipes here and there. I am a dessert and ice cream lover and one of the ways I can offset those treats is to make recipes that contain fewer carbs and less fat. I did this the other day when I made 

I don’t want to give up pasta, but I found that by making a few substitutions, I can have a lighter, healthier version without compromising on taste. This is especially helpful during those times when I find the beach calling my name! I add chicken to this recipe for a great dinner.

Ingredients for this Recipe

Chicken – I always use boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces for this recipe.

Greek Yogurt – Any brand of Greek Yogurt works well with this.

Whipping Cream – I often use the generic brand or whatever is on sale. 

Parmesan Cheese – This is the best part about this dish. Because this lighter version has no butter or heavy cream, the richness of the dish comes from the cheese. 

Noodles

 I calculated the freestyle weight watcher points and it came out to about 11 points for a serving. Perfect for a dinner option and so much better than trying to eat those frozen dinners.

I love simple dinners like this one.
