Our lighter version of a Macaroni Grill's favorite.

5 or 6 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless

Lemon pepper

3 pkgs. McCormick Creamy Garlic Alfredo sauce mix

(3 c. milk but only 3 T. margarine)

1/4 c. sun-dried tomatoes

1/4 c. pine nuts or toasted pumpkin seeds

16 oz. bowtie noodles

Shake lemon pepper on chicken breasts. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Slice each breast into 1/2" slices. Set aside.

Cook the bowtie noodles according to package directions. While noodles are cooking, make the Alfredo sauce as directed on package, using less margarine. When sauce is thickened, add diced sun-dried tomatoes and nuts. Thin with milk if it becomes too thick.

You may add the sliced chicken to the sauce, then pour it over the noodles; or serve the sauce, chicken, and noodles separately and let people serve themselves. Serves 6.
