Description

A delightful twist on a classic comfort dish, combining tender chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and a hint of cheese, perfect for a satisfying low-carb dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Include the cubed chicken breasts, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, then set aside.
  4. Combine heavy cream, minced garlic, and half of the Parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and cauliflower to the skillet, then pour the creamy mixture over them. Stir until well-coated.
  6. Transfer to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut cream. Use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
