Who says you can’t enjoy a delicious Alfredo dish without carbs? This chicken and broccoli Alfredo recipe will help you make a delicious Italian style dish without worrying about the carbs or pasta, because you won’t need it.
You’ll need fresh spinach, broccoli, chicken, and some other ingredients and you can enjoy a restaurant-style meal from home.
You can also replace bacon for turkey ham. Be sure whatever meat you choose is as “clean” as possible, meaning that it should not contain added sugars, nitrates, antibiotics, hormones, preservatives, or artificial flavors.
Processed meats are not something you want to consume daily. However, if you can find a high-quality cut, such as grass-fed, pasture-raised, and organic, then you won’t have to worry about as many harmful additives.
Broccoli and spinach provide an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, plant compounds, antioxidants, and fiber. These are nutrients that many keto dieters do not get enough of.
If you aren’t a big vegetable eater, then you’ll enjoy the flavor that the Alfredo sauce and bacon gives to the vegetables.
This dish is perfect with some Parmesan cheese on top as well. You can also sprinkle some of the crisp bacon bits on the top of your dish.
