Looking for a keto chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe?
There are times I do the keto diet and make this Alfredo sauce to top it on some grilled chicken breast strips.
It’s a great alternative for dinner without the carbs, but keeping up your moderate protein and high fat that is needed to maintain the keto lifestyle.
A delicious replacement for the noodles would be zucchini noodles or 2-ingredient cheese noodles.
