Keto Chicken Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles
Creamy garlic alfredo over tender chicken and zucchini noodles — all the comfort of the classic, without the carb crash.
Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup grated parmesan
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Steps
- Salt the zucchini noodles lightly and set in a colander to drain for 10 minutes. Pat dry.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Sear in olive oil 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Melt the butter in the same pan and soften the garlic for 1 minute.
- Pour in the cream, add the nutmeg and simmer gently 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the parmesan until melted and smooth.
- Toss in the zucchini noodles for 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through.
- Top with the sliced chicken, scatter with parsley and serve.
Serve with: a green salad and extra parmesan.
Salt the zucchini noodles and let them drain 10 minutes first, so they stay firm instead of watering down the sauce.
