Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 large Zucchini
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream, bring it to a gentle simmer, and stir continuously.
Step 5
Add the parmesan cheese and butter, stirring until they melt and combine with the cream to form a smooth sauce. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
Step 6
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchini. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips resembling pasta.
Step 7
Add the zucchini noodles to the Alfredo sauce and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they just begin to soften. Avoid overcooking them to maintain a slight crunch and prevent them from becoming watery.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring everything together to coat the chicken and zoodles in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
Step 9
Serve the Low Carb Chicken Alfredo Pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
