5 Ingredient Keto Chicken Alfredo
What’s a chicken Alfredo?
Chicken Alfredo is basically a spin off from Fettuccine Alfredo. This is basically pasta tossed with butter and cheese which forms a creamy sauce. I think somewhere down the line Alfredo just because ‘white sauce’ pasta. And of course then came the variants and noodling around with the basic idea and somewhere chicken Alfredo is born. Even if this is not the real deal that’s okay. It’s a delicious dish and something that was easy to whip up and whip down to just 5 ingredients.
So cook this up on any day of the week in less than 15 minutes and you’ve got a meal set for you!
But I don’t like mushrooms!
Well that’s okay because while this is quite bold with the mushroom flavour you can skip it. I think even with just the garlic and cream and butter it will be delicious. You can also add cheese in the mix to really amp things up. What is also great is that you can just make a side of broccoli or asparagus with it for a complete meal. Just pour this Alfredo sauce over your vegetables.
Now if you like Italian food I would urge you to try some of my other Keto Italian recipes. I’ve got a killer Keto eggplant involtini recipe if you enjoy vegetarian fare and also a delicious chicken parmesan.

Ive been on your keto for 3 weeks now and love it. I was wondering if you can swap up any lunch with another lunch or dinner with another dinner that are on your 101 weeks?
Yeah you can swap out and rotate things.
I don’t have avocado oil. What’s the best alternative?
Olive oil, coconut oil, beef tallow, bacon fat, butter, ghee, any keto approved fat.
