In a society that so often uses carbs to "beef up" our plates, it can be difficult to find no or low carb alternatives to your favorite meals. As in my true fashion, I K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid), and simply omit the pasta, bread, grain, etc. This chicken and broccoli Alfredo was quick and easy. As always, macros can be found at the bottom.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts: cooked and chopped
4 cups Broccoli Florets
Alfredo sauce;
1 c organic heavy cream
1/4 c butter
1 1/2 c shredded Parmesan
1/4 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter in large sauce pan, I use my small stock pot. Saute onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Onion should just be getting translucent. Reduce heat to medium, mix in heavy cream, stir thoroughly. Add parmesan, reduce heat to low, stir thoroughly. Add broccoli florets, cover and cook additional 5 minutes. Add chicken and parsley, mix all together and enjoy!
