A rich, creamy, and low-carb Chicken Alfredo recipe using zucchini noodles instead of traditional pasta, perfect for a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken slices lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Whisk in the softened cream cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil.
  7. While the sauce thickens, prepare the zucchini noodles (zoodles) by lightly sautéing them in a separate pan for 1-2 minutes or leaving them raw for a crunchier texture. Drain any excess moisture.
  8. Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
  9. Add the chicken back to the skillet and toss with the Alfredo sauce.
  10. Serve the chicken and sauce immediately over the zucchini noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, allow the cream and cream cheese mixture to reduce slightly longer before adding the Parmesan.
  • You can substitute the zucchini noodles with steamed cauliflower florets if you prefer.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in the sauce.
