Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 medium Zucchini (for noodles)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer to form long noodles resembling fettuccine. Set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing the heat if necessary to avoid boiling.
Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet, allowing them to warm in the sauce.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, gently tossing them in the Alfredo sauce for about 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly tender.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Serve the Keto Fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
