Chicken Alfredo is a beloved dish, but many versions can be high in calories and low in protein. This recipe offers a healthy twist by incorporating Banza chickpea pasta, which not only boosts protein content but also adds fiber. The use of cottage cheese and ricotta in the sauce creates a creamy texture while maintaining lower fat levels compared to traditional Alfredo. Seasoned grilled chicken adds flavor and additional protein. This dish is perfect for meal prep as it keeps well in the fridge, ensuring you have healthy options ready throughout the week. With a combination of lean protein and nutritious ingredients, this High Protein Chicken Alfredo is ideal for anyone pursuing a gym lifestyle or looking for delicious low-calorie meals. If you're preparing for workouts or trying to transform your body, incorporating dishes like these can help you reach your goals without sacrificing taste.

I would use cottage cheese in place of the ricotta cheese there is more protein in cottage cheese. And I would replace the chick pea pasta with protein paste.
