Keto Chicken Alfredo (Zucchini Noodles) Recipe

If you’ve been craving a creamy, comforting pasta dish without blowing up your carb count, you’re in the right place. I’ve made this Keto Chicken Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles more times than I can admit, mostly because it tastes like comfort without guilt. Ever wondered why keto recipes that feel “too good to be true” usually become your favorites? This one absolutely falls into that category.

Why Keto Chicken Alfredo Works So Well

This dish hits that sweet spot between indulgent and light. You get the rich Alfredo flavor, the juicy chicken, and the fresh, low-carb zucchini noodles—all in one bowl. IMO, it’s the perfect weeknight dinner.

The Secret Behind the Flavor

You keep things simple but bold:

* Butter and garlic create the base.

* Heavy cream and Parmesan make everything silky and satisfying.

* Zucchini noodles soak up flavor without turning soggy (well, unless you overcook them… please don’t :/ ).

Ever noticed how zucchini noodles look intimidating at first but end up becoming your best friend? Same.

Ingredients You Need (Nothing Fancy)

Here’s what you need to make this keto-friendly classic:

* Chicken breasts (boneless, sliced or cubed)

* Zucchini noodles (store-bought or spiralized at home)

* Heavy cream

* Parmesan cheese

* Butter

* Garlic

* Salt, pepper, Italian seasoning

* Optional: parsley for that IG-worthy finish :)

FYI, I’ve tried swapping zucchini for spaghetti squash before, but nothing beats the freshness of zoodles in this recipe.

How to Make Keto Chicken Alfredo (Step-by-Step)

Ever cooked something so easy you almost felt guilty? This recipe does that.

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken and cook it in butter until it turns golden and juicy. The brown bits in the pan? Keep them. They flavor everything.

Step 2: Build the Alfredo Sauce

Melt butter, sauté garlic, pour in cream, add Parmesan, let it thicken.

The sauce turns glossy, and honestly, it smells so good you’ll start doubting your willpower.

Step 3: Add Zucchini Noodles

Toss them in the sauce for just 1–2 minutes.

If you cook them longer, they’ll get soggy and betray you. No one deserves that.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Mix the chicken back in, top with extra Parmesan, and serve warm.
