Make a rich, satisfying Chicken Alfredo that fits your ketogenic diet using zucchini noodles instead of traditional pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles (zoodles)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese. Whisk constantly until the cream cheese has melted completely and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce thickens slightly. This should take about 2 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it thoroughly in the Alfredo sauce. Keep warm over very low heat.
  8. While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles. You can quickly sauté the zoodles in a separate pan with a little butter for 1-2 minutes, or serve them raw for a crunchier texture. Do not overcook the zoodles, as they release water.
  9. Divide the zucchini noodles among serving plates. Top generously with the creamy keto chicken Alfredo mixture.
  10. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk or chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
  • For an authentic taste, use high-quality Parmesan cheese.
  • If you are meal prepping, store the sauce and chicken separately from the zoodles to prevent the noodles from becoming watery.
