This Keto Chicken With Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce is super flavorful with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and a dairy free mozzarella flavored cream sauce. Serve over zucchini noodles to transform it into a to-die-for pasta dish. 

If you love Italian food – you will LOVE this Keto Chicken dish! This just might be one of the best recipes I’ve ever eaten! Not only is it REALLY flavorful with sauteed garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella flavored cream sauce, but I like to stir zucchini noodles into the sauce transforming it into a fantastic pasta dish. Plus, it comes together fairly quickly for an easy weeknight dinner.

Easy Keto Chicken With Cream Sauce Instructions:

First, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika and grill it over medium heat until cooked through.

For the cream sauce add some raw cashews, water, and mozzarella inspired seasonings to a blender and blend until smooth.

Next, for the pasta saute some spiralized zucchini noodles with garlic over medium heat until they are nice and soft.

And here is where it all comes together.  For the finale, in the same pan as the chicken, saute some garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Once the garlic is nice and fragrant, add the cream sauce and the zucchini noodles. Top with the grilled chicken and an extra sprinkling of basil – my pasta paradise!!!

Here are the particulars 🙂
