Low Carb Chicken Alfredo is a quick and easy chicken recipe perfect for a weeknight or special occasion. I used a low carb alfredo sauce along with some leftover grilled chicken tenders. You could easily use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

We are making this a one dish meal by adding colorful veggies into the recipe!
Keeping carb counts low by using zoodles.
Use store bought low carb alfredo sauce for convenience.
Ready in less than 30 minutes.

THE MAIN INGREDIENTS

Veggies-mushrooms, spinach, green onions and tomatoes. Also, squash or zucchini for the zoodles.
Chicken– this can be either leftover, rotisserie or, if desired, use our delicious skillet chicken tenders recipe.
Alfredo sauce– choose a lower carb variety to help keep carb counts in check.
Zoodles– you may purchase these pre made or make them yourself.

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:

1. Start by sautéing green onions, garlic and mushrooms. Choose your favorite type of mushroom-here I have used portabellas.

2. We will be adding cherry tomatoes to the recipe for a bit of color and flavor! Use diced fresh tomatoes if you prefer.

3. A shot of the sautéed veggies with the chopped tomatoes added.

4. Fresh spinach will be chopped then added with the other veggies. The spinach will be cooked briefly-just enough to slightly wilt.

5. Here’s a pic of the chopped fresh spinach and chopped chicken added to the veggies.

6. Spiralized squash will be sautéed just a few minutes. This will make a low carb pasta substitute to serve with the low carb chicken alfredo. The gadget in the picture is a handheld veggie spiralizer.

7. The final step- add store bought low carb alfredo sauce. Simmer and serve over squash noodles or pasta!

EXPERT TIPS

Use a large non stick skillet for this recipe- its a one pot low carb meal!
Be sure to measure your alfredo sauce to keep carbs in check.
Shred the squash on a cheese grater if you don’t have a spiralizer.
