Low Carb Chicken Alfredo

Low Carb Chicken Alfredo is a quick and easy chicken recipe the whole family will love.  I used a low carb alfredo sauce along with some leftover grilled chicken tenders.  You could easily use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead.   This recipe is diabetes-friendly and can be adapted to make it one the whole family will enjoy.  In the instructions below, I will show you how to serve this low carb chicken recipe on either a low carb bed of spiralized veggies or a mix of veggies and pasta.  Let’s get to the recipe!

How to make low carb chicken Alfredo:

 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!
