One-Skillet Seafood Alfredo
While fish is a healthy addition to any diet, there can be plenty of calories hidden in any cream- based dressings. To make this dish lighter, we’ve substituted a combination of chicken broth, 2% milk, and flour for heavy cream. That way, you’re still able to achieve that thick, creamy texture that’s indicative of an Alfredo dish while cutting out the unhealthier elements.
