Cajun Alfredo Chicken Low Carb Recipes

CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge the chicken breasts in the blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to a simmer, and reduce the cream sauce by half.
• When the cream sauce is to desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and pasta.
• Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

CAJUN ALFREDO CHICKEN- LOW CARB

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Coat each side of the breasts with Cajun seasoning.
• 2. Heat butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium- high heat. Sauté breasts for 3 minutes on each side. When you flip the breasts, tilt pan slightly and spoon some of the butter over chicken several times. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
• 3. While chicken is cooking, chop broccoli and cook. I microwaved it on high for 4 minutes. Microwave ovens vary, so just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get overcooked. Seed and dice tomatoes, and slice the green onion.
• 4. Remove chicken breasts from the oven, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and place on plates. Note: Chicken will be blackened (not burnt). Top each breast with half of the broccoli. Heat alfredo sauce in a glass measuring cup in the microwave on high for 25-30 seconds. Drizzle half of the sauce over each breast. Top each with half of the tomato and onion, and serve. * I used Bobby Webb's Cajun Spice Mix. Here's the link to the recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/marinade/cajun-spice-mix.html?p=1 (omit sugar if on low carb diet) ** After reading all the labels on different Alfredo sauces, I decided that Bertolli was the lowest in carbs, with only 2 carbs in 1/4 cup.
