Bacon Chicken Alfredo Recipe (One Pan 20-Minute Meal)

table of contents[Hide][Show]

Do you know the moment when you realize it’s 4:00 p.m. and you haven’t planned or defrosted anything for dinner? When that happens, this bacon chicken alfredo recipe (and others like my beef and cabbage pan) are my favorite meals. What’s so great about them? I make them in just one pan!

Washing less dishes? Yes, please!

How To Make Bacon Chicken Alfredo Healthy

Chicken alfredo (especially with bacon!) Doesn’t seem like the healthiest dish. But compare the ingredients in this recipe to the label on most pre-made Alfredo sauce jars and you might be convinced otherwise!

I’m making a few other changes to my version of this classic comfort food to make it better for you:

  • I add a lot of fresh spinach
  • I use high-protein and high-fiber Shirataki noodles or vegetable noodles instead of conventional pasta (more on this below)
  • You won’t find any processed vegetable oils in this recipe! Instead, the healthy fats in this recipe come from olive oil, some good quality cream cheese, cured bacon, and lots of fresh or dried herbs (which have a ton of health benefits).

Bonus: Except for shirataki or vegetable noodles, you don’t need any unusual or special ingredients for this recipe. You can have a meal on the table better than the restaurant in less than half an hour!

Bacon Chicken Alfredo without pasta?

I know, I know, there’s always a catch In this case, the catch is that the fastest way is to use shirataki noodles in place of other types of pasta. I don’t really like to eat wheat products anyway, so I use shirataki or vegetable noodles.

Shirataki noodles are already cooked, which makes them super convenient. They just need to be rinsed and tossed in the sauce. I usually keep several packages ready for this dish and for Thai peanut butter noodles. I use often this kind.

However, you can perfectly use vegetable noodles or any other type of noodle if you wish. When I have time, I like to use my spiral cutter to make vegetable noodles, or use grated cabbage or spaghetti squash. I like the added nutrients in the vegetables and the different flavors they add to the dishes.

More one-pan meals

I love every recipe with a few basic criteria:

  • Real food ingredients
  • Gart in a pan (to minimize dishes)
  • Easy to do
  • Ready to eat in less than 30 minutes

This Chicken Alfredo recipe ticks all the boxes and is absolutely delicious. You can cook it in about half an hour, even if you first need to thaw a frozen chicken in warm water. If you have already cooked leftover chicken to use, it cuts the time in half!
