Chicken Alfredo - Low Carb

"If you like Chicken Breasts, and Chicken Alfredo in particular, this recipe is going to blow your socks off!! SOOO easy, SOOOO yummy, and if you have any leftovers, they disappear fast! Great company dish, as it makes a lovely presentation. The flavor from the roasted peppers was tantalizing, next time I'll add 1/2 cup, instead.

  1. I have low carbed before, but missed this terrific dish. Wonderful. Served it over dreamfields angel hair pasta, which I simply added butter, salt pepper, and basil to . Wonderful, wonderful!
     
  2. Delicious! After pan frying my chicken breast I chopped up in small pieces. Then mixed the chicken with the sauce (which I added a little more cream to) and baked. I fried up some red peppers and added to my chicken after I plated. Boyfriend does not like peppers. Will make again.
     
  3. This literally made my significant other groan with pleasure on every bite. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using thick sliced fresh red and yellow peppers instead of the roasted peppers. It had a fresh, end of summer flavor. I am low carbing, so at it as-is. He is not, so I tossed spaghetti cooked al-dente with minced garlic, a little olive oil, some fresh minced basil and a diced fresh tomato. This was a huge hit, amazingly easy and will be coming out of the closet soon for guests. Thank you for this recipe!

I discovered Recipezaar looking for a Wendy's Chili Clone. I found one, and it was GOOD! I love how Recipezaar shows the nutritional breakdown next to the recipes.
