Keto Chicken Fettuccine

Keto Chicken Fettuccine is a creamy, low-carb twist on the classic pasta dish, featuring tender chicken and a rich, garlic-infused sauce over zucchini noodles. This dish is not only delicious but also fits perfectly into a ketogenic lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Zucchini - 2 medium-sized
• Heavy cream - 120 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Italian seasoning - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, then add it to the skillet with garlic.
4. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and slice into strips.
5. In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream and stir until melted and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Toss the zucchini noodles into the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
8. Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet, mixing everything together until well combined.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
