Chicken Alfredo

I’ve been eating this dish ever since I can remember. It was a popular week night meal my mom used to make for us during my teenage years. Now we have created this healthier alfredo version and it is ideal for those of you who are on a gluten free diet! The cream in the sauce can be substituted with coconut milk if desired. Both ways taste equally delicious.
