Easy Chicken Alfredo Recipe
I just made one of the easiest meals I’ve ever attempted. I saw it’s easy because I literally just through it together. Normally, I would have to defrost the meat, cook it and then start planning to make chicken alfredo but not this time. I just used a product my husband bought called beyond meat grilled chicken. They also have beefy crumbles but it was sold out at my store because of how popular it is already! Probably because it tastes amazing! To be honest, I had never even considered a meat alternative until my husband pointed it out. I have the hardest time digesting meats so I really don’t eat a lot of them. I tend to drinks lots of protein shakes to help up my protein intake just because I don’t eat much. I’ve tried both BeyondMeat products and they have a very familiar taste when it comes to meat but it’s very easy for me to digest and it tastes great. It’s a perfect way for me to get tender and easy to digest meat with plant protein instead of animal protein. I’m hooked!
Shhhh! Don’t tell my kids because they didn’t even notice a difference either.
What is Meat?
MEAT IS NO MYSTERY.
It’s actually pretty simple: amino acids, fats, trace carbohydrates and minerals, and a lot of water combined to give us that familiar chew, resistance, and variation.
Beyond Meats has taken these inputs from plants and apply heating, cooling, and pressure so they combine just like animal meat!
What you’d have is meat for the future. Meat from plants. Pretty Cool, right?!
