Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Keto Alfredo Sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups  heavy whipping cream
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 60 seconds.
  3. Add heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Whisk until smooth.
