Chicken Penne Pasta with Alfredo Sauce is a creamy Italian-inspired dish combining tender grilled chicken, penne pasta, and a rich Alfredo sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. The pasta serves as an excellent source of carbohydrates, providing energy, while the chicken adds lean protein to support muscle growth and repair. Parmesan cheese contributes calcium for bone health. However, the Alfredo sauce is calorie-dense and high in saturated fat, making this dish more indulgent than light. To enhance its healthfulness, additional vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or tomatoes can be incorporated for added vitamins, fiber, and color. The dish is a comfort food favorite that balances hearty flavors with creamy textures, ideal for occasional enjoyment within a balanced diet.
