I came home from work last week craving a Caprese salad. Like a real-deal tomato, basil, and creamy fresh mozzarella concoction. Something like this would have worked well…

I even asked my friend Tiffany if she’s bring me one. Keep in mind, she lives like 30 miles away… yeah, I knew that wasn’t happening.
Having recommitted to the Jenny Craig program over the past few weeks, I knew that I would be having Jenny for dinner… and I also knew that I could leverage this awesome idea into a new volumizing recipe, and THIS may be my favorite one yet!!
Can you believe that is Jenny Craig cuisine?? I took all my favorite flavors from the caprese salad and added them to the Chicken Fettuccine. It was [BEYOND] fantastic! Here’s how I made it…
