Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Optional: 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes (for extra thickness and creaminess)
Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. If using, add cream cheese and whisk constantly until completely melted and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce is smooth and thickened. Continue to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Can be served as is, or with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
For extra thickness and creaminess, add cream cheese.
Serve with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
