Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 zucchini, medium-sized
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles (zoodles).
Add the zoodles to the Alfredo sauce and gently toss to coat.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still crisp.
Serve the Keto Classic Chicken Alfredo garnished with chopped parsley and a little extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
