Keto Chicken Alfredo

Indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of this Keto Chicken Alfredo, a delightful low-carb twist on the classic Italian favorite. Perfectly cooked chicken breasts are enveloped in a luscious Alfredo sauce made from heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, served on a bed of tender zucchini noodles. This dish not only satisfies your cravings but also aligns with your ketogenic lifestyle, offering a guilt-free indulgence that's as nourishing as it is delicious. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness, making this dish a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

Ingredients

Zucchini noodles
4 cups
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Parmesan cheese
1 cup, grated
Heavy cream
1 cup
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Butter
2 tablespoons
Chicken breasts
2, boneless and skinless

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble slightly but not brown.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn't burn.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest. Slice the chicken into thin strips once slightly cooled.
  6. In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  7. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens and is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them thoroughly in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini noodles are just tender but still have a slight crunch.
  9. To serve, plate the zucchini noodles and top with the sliced chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an aromatic finish.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and Italian herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • 💡 Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the Alfredo sauce for extra nutrients and flavor.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the cream slightly longer on the heat to achieve your desired consistency.
