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)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchini. Set them aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the noodles and sauce.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Plate the Chicken Alfredo Low Carb, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
