Keto Chicken Alfredo Zoodles

About this recipe

Creamy Alfredo without cream guilt—this keto version trades pasta for spiralized zucchini, letting the sauce do all the talking. Pan-seared chicken stays tender and juicy because you're not drowning it; the heavy cream and butter build a silky coating that clings to every strand of zoodle. The real trick is finishing with lemon juice right at the end—it cuts through the richness and keeps the dish feeling bright instead of heavy. Nutmeg, just a whisper, adds the kind of warmth that makes people ask what your secret is. At 48g protein and 6g net carbs, this finishes under 25 minutes, making it the kind of weeknight dinner that feels indulgent but fits into keto without any math. If your zoodles release too much water, pat them dry after spiralizing, or the sauce will thin out; sauté them solo for 90 seconds first if you're cooking ahead. Serve with a simple green salad or just more parmesan—you don't need anything else.
