I used cooked chicken, also added some chopped Kale to it along with the broccoli. It was very good. Also I always use the low fat versions of any Philly product & it is always good.

Easiest Alfredo I've ever done (That wasn't from a jar) It tasted Awesome and The entire Family Thought it was a Winner. (Double sauce is required otherwise dry)

I added some garlic but still could have used some more spice. But overall it was good.

I had my doubts while cooking this recipe that the sauce was too thin, but it turned out perfectly. It's the first time I've made my own 'Alfredo' sauce. It was quick, easy to make, and really tasty and I'll definately be making it again. My husband gave me compliments on it.

This was good and we liked it but it's like the lo-cal version - it was when I made it. We found it drier than a recipe made with half and half cream and butter. I will make this recipe more often as my quick and easy, lower-cal version, for sure - none of the taste is missing!

I like to make this frequently. I make it with fresh linguine and I add chunks of onion when cooking the chicken- very yummy with garlic bread with cheese :)

This was a great receipe! It has everything: protein, carbs, veg and some yummy creamy dressing! I loved it and my son loved it too. I made it with penne pasta instead of regular fetuccini noodles and it was great as a cold salad the next day for lunch.

We loved this. Did it with mushrooms, peppers and onion instead of chicken and added swacks of pepper. So good-going in my 4*file
