Instructions

Step 1

Make alfredo sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil and chicken to the pan—season with half the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sear for 5-6 minutes undisturbed so a brown crust starts to form.

Step 3

Flip and season with the rest of the seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove and set on a cutting board.

Step 4

In the same pan, turn the heat to low, add bone or chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Then, add in the alfredo sauce. Stir continuously to heat up.

Step 5

Cut chicken into strips or cubes. Serve with a bed of zucchini noodles or any approved noodle (heat them up for 3-5 minutes on the stove first), top with sliced chicken and drizzle sauce all over.
