Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spiralizer
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

For the Chicken Alfredo:

  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for thickening

For the Broccoli Noodles:

  • 4 cups broccoli stems spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breast pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce begins to thicken. If a thicker sauce is desired, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk continuously until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Cook the Broccoli Noodles: While the sauce simmers, heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the spiralized broccoli stems and sauté with a pinch of salt until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pieces evenly. Divide the broccoli noodles among plates and top with the creamy chicken Alfredo. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker Alfredo sauce, xanthan gum can be used as a keto-friendly thickening agent.
Ensure to cook the broccoli noodles until just tender to avoid them becoming mushy.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain the creamy texture of the sauce.
