Broccoli Chicken Alfredo Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 large chicken breast cubed
4 cups chopped broccoli, fresh is better
2 large zucchini spiraled
1 stick butter
Half stick of butter
1 package cream cheese
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
2 garlic cloves
INSTRUCTIONS: Melt butter and cream cheese. When melted melt parmesan and add cream. Use a whisk to blend the sauce. Sprinkle pepper and Italian seasoning into the mixture if desired. The parmesan is salty so he careful if you add salt. I have over salted my first batch.
Separate pan cook half stick of butter, chicken and broccoli till chicken is fully cooked. Combine sauce and chicken serve over boiled zucchini noodles.
CAULIFLOWER CHEESE BREAD
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower raw
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Rice the cauliflower by coring it and breaking it into florets. Then place it in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it is the texture of rice. (If your cauliflower seems excessively moist, squeeze the riced, raw cauliflower in a paper towel to help remove moisture.)
In a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until combined and holds together. Place the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread out into a rectangle about 9x7" and 1/4" thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese and return to oven to continue baking until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Cool about 10 minutes and cut into 'breadsticks'. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite Red Sauce and enjoy!
