Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. Slice into thin strips once cooled slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchini. Set them aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the noodles gently to coat them in the sauce, and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the zoodles are tender but not mushy.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the noodles and sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the Chicken Alfredo Low Carb, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
