Keto Chicken Broccoli Alfredo – Important Tips

Chicken – Use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, as legs will be juicier with high-fat content perfect on your keto.

Save time – Precooked chicken or rotisserie chicken is the best way to save a lot of time, this will also reduce the cooking by 15 minutes.

Spice it up – Add red pepper flakes or fresh jalapenos for a spicy kick.

Thicken the sauce – You can thicken the sauce by simmering for a few minutes with the lid off. Cornstarch or flour is not an option to do that. Or, you can use a combination of heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, and cheeses.

Sauce consistency – If it’s too thick, add a bit more heavy whipping cream and if it’s too thin, boil on low heat with the lid off whisk continuously, it will reduce.

Broccoli – This is very important, always drain the broccoli florets after steaming; otherwise retained water in the florets can thin out the sauce.

Veggies – Add veggies like asparagus, brussels sprouts, green beans, cauliflower, mushrooms.
