flavors! This Creamy Avocado-Lemon Chicken Alfredo is a perfect balance of richness and brightness, making it an ideal meal for a cozy dinner or a special occasion. ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Variations:

  • Pasta Choice: Toss the sauce with fettuccine, linguine, or even zucchini noodles for a lighter option.
  • Extra Creaminess: Add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk to the Alfredo sauce for an even silkier texture.
  • Spice It Up: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne for a subtle kick.
  • Veggie Boost: Stir in sautรฉed spinach, roasted cherry tomatoes, or asparagus for extra freshness.

๐ŸŒฑ Dietary Adjustments:

  • Dairy-Free? Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • Low-Carb? Skip the potatoes and serve with roasted zucchini or cauliflower.

โณ Time-Saving Hack:

  • Prep the chicken marinade and avocado sauce ahead of time (store separately in the fridge).
  • Use an air fryer for the potatoes (400ยฐF for 12โ€“15 mins, shaking halfway).

Pair with a crisp white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc) or a refreshing sparkling lemonade for the ultimate dining experience.
