Ever have one of those cravings for comfort food? Something really warm and satisfying? Yeah, me too. I had some roasted chicken I needed to do something with and the usual ideas just weren’t cutting it. I didn’t want a salad nor soup. I thought about doing something Italian, but wasn’t feeling red sauce. The though of chicken alfredo came to mind, but how to make it dairy free? I found this on the site The Confident Mom, who got it from eMeals. I served it over some zucchini noodles, but spaghetti squash would be really good here as well. Enjoy!
