How to Make Keto Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash
Ingredients
- 1 average spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Parsley leaves for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Squash: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (or 400°F). To begin, cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Add some salt and pepper; drizzle with some olive oil and set the halves cut side down on a baking tray. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash is soft.
Prepare the Chicken: As the squash is being baked, rub salt and pepper on the chicken breasts. Take a skillet and pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and set the stove to medium heat. Brown each side of the chicken for about six to seven minutes, ensuring that the inside is also done. Once done, take it off the pan and cut into pieces.
Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add the sliced chicken and an extra tablespoon of olive oil. Once the chicken is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute. Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about ten minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
Combine: Use a fork to scrape out the strands from the spaghetti squash. In a bowl, mix the squash strands with the Alfredo sauce, then add the sliced chicken.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor, and enjoy your delicious meal!
