Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (5g) Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
- Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and gently toss them with the chicken and sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the Keto Chicken Alfredo hot and enjoy!
