Keto Buffalo Chicken Pasta is a creamy, spicy delight that brings together tender chicken, zoodles, and a tangy buffalo sauce. Perfect for those following a ketogenic diet, this dish satisfies your pasta cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 300 grams)
• Cream cheese - 100 grams
• Buffalo sauce - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Green onions - 2 stalks (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese - 30 grams (for garnish)

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zoodles and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
3. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined.
5. Add the zoodles and cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything in the buffalo sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the zoodles are just tender.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and grated Parmesan cheese.
