Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade Alfredo sauce.
You can substitute ground turkey or lean pork for the chicken if preferred.
If you want a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To make this recipe lower in calories, use part-skim mozzarella and reduce the amount of cheese.
