    What Is Alfredo Sauce 

    Classic alfredo sauce is actually a very basic sauce. It’s made with just some butter, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. After that, chefs and home cooks like to add their own little spin or twist. 

    Basic alfredo sauce is a keto-friendly sauce. You can use it as a dip, a topping for roasted veggies, or drizzle it on top of keto pasta.

    Since I’m a huge fan of the aroma and flavor of pumpkin, I made a rich and creamy pumpkin alfredo sauce. You’ll love how rich and complex this sauce tastes. The flavors might be complex, but the sauce is actually really easy to make. 

    Shopping List 

    Before you make this keto chicken alfredo skillet, this is what you’ll need from the store. All of the exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Keto Pumpkin Chicken Alfredo Ingredients

    • Chicken Breasts
    • Broccoli Florets
    • Palmini Linguini Noodles
    • Olive Oil 
    • Onion Powder 
    • Garlic Powder 
    • Italian Seasoning 
    • Pumpkin Puree
    • Butter
    • Heavy Cream 
    • Parmesan Cheese
    • Minced Garlic 

    Ingredient Substitutions 

    If you make any changes to this recipe, let me know in the comments. Here are some of the easiest ingredient swaps (or additions) you can make.

    Keto Pumpkin Chicken Alfredo

    • Chicken – you can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. 
    • Palmini Noodles – Add this to butternut squash noodles, zoodles, or on top of spaghetti squash. 
    • Broccoli Florets – Try this with cauliflower instead 
    • Parmesan Cheese – Any shredded Italian cheese blend will taste delicious in the sauce. 

    Best Keto Pasta

    I’m a huge fan of canned Palmini noodles. You don’t have to cook them, just open the can, drain them, and heat them up! Since they are made from hearts of palm, they have so much fiber that the net carb amount is really low.

    Since they are made from hearts of palm, they have so much fiber that the net carb amount is really low. There are other brands of low-carb pasta that keto dieters love too.

    Miracle Noodles makes a popular Angel Hair pasta. ThinSlim Foods makes pasta elbows that look and taste like classic macaroni noodles.

    Carba-Nada Egg Fettucini is another popular brand because it tastes just like egg noodles. 

    Chicken Alfredo Sides

    This skillet meal is a complete dinner. You have the meat, veggies, and even pasta! Enjoy it with some cheddar biscuits for an additional side. Or start out with a copycat Panera salad.

    This will also taste incredible if you start out with a chicken and cauliflower rice soup. The Italian flavors complement each other so well. 

    How To Store Leftovers

    After you bake it, the leftovers will only stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.

    Then, reheat them in the microwave or on the stove. This is the perfect thing to add to your weekly meal prep!
