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)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer to form long noodles resembling fettuccine. Set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing the heat if necessary to avoid boiling.

Step 6

Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the rested chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet, allowing them to warm in the sauce.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Fettuccine Alfredo immediately, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
