Low Carb Chicken Alfredo Penne

I’ve been trying out different types of low carb pasta and I found this one on Amazon. It’s in a green box and it say’s it’s 55% less net carbs. The texture was just like regular pasta and only 16g net carbs a serving which is much lower than regular pasta.

Low Carb Chicken Alfredo Penne

2 chicken breasts sliced in half (4 cutlets)

1 box of low carb penne pasta

1 stick plus 3 tbsp of butter

2 cups heavy cream

2 cups fresh shredded parmesan cheese

1 clove of garlic (grated)

1/2 tsp of salt

Seasoning for chicken: salt, pepper, paprika, Dash table blend seasoning

Boil the pasta following the directions on the package. Drain and set pasta aside.

Season the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, paprika, and table blend seasoning, make sure the chicken is brought to room temp before cooking.

Over medium high heat, melt 3 tbsp of butter in the pan and add the chicken, cooking both sides for about 3 minutes each. Remove from the pan and wipe the pan clean.

Add 1 stick of butter to the pan over medium heat and once it’s melted add 2 cups of heavy cream and whisk to combine.

Next, add the 1/2 tsp of salt and the freshly grated parmesan cheese and whisk the sauce until the cheese is melted.

Grate one clove of garlic and mix into the sauce well.

Add the cooked pasta into the pan and fold in the Alfredo sauce to cover all the pasta.

Add chicken cutlets to the top of the pasta, garnish with parsley or more parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
