Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with ground nutmeg (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Low-Carb Pasta:
- While the sauce is simmering, cook your low-carb pasta or spiralized vegetables according to the package instructions or your preferred method. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and Serve:
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Add the cooked low-carb pasta or spiralized vegetables to the Alfredo sauce, stirring to coat them thoroughly.
- Gently fold in the sliced chicken.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Transfer the Chicken Alfredo to serving plates or bowls.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can include a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of white wine in the sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit more chicken broth or heavy cream.
