Chicken and Mushroom Alfredo Recipe

I love this meal. Love love it. Its really simple and really quick with little ingredients on hand.

Low Carb, Keto Friendly Chicken and Mushroom Alfredo
1 rotisserie chicken diced. (this saves time, and effort)
7-8 large button mushroom. sliced into thin pieces
1/2 large onion diced
3/4 cup heavy cream (I wanted extra sauce for my family, use less if you want less sauce/fat/carbs
4 cloves of garlic
3 tbs butter
parmesan cheese depending on liking (I like mine a little thicker so add more cheese, if your doing a side of pasta for your family if they don't eat low carb omit the extra cheese until after you serve yourself if you want extra sauce for their pasta.)
Olive Oil to cook mushrooms/onions in-- maybe 2 tbsp depending on your liking
Salt
Pepper
Basil

1. Cook sliced mushroom and onions until tender/brown on medium heat.
2. Once browned place butter into pan and stir.
3. Add salt, pepper and basil. stir again.
4. Add chicken and garlic, cook until chicken is warm and garlic is brown/done.
4. Add heavy cream and stir until cream bubbles
5. Add cheese and stir again until sauce becomes thick. If sauce is still thin, add additional cheese.

Here is the list of foods that I commonly eat off of, and some meal examples that I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner :) 


Kristen’s Example Meal Plans 
Breakfast:
Eggs over easy with a side of Bacon
Scrambled eggs with sausage, pesto sauce (costco, 1 tbs is around 1 carb), and feta cheese
Scrambled eggs with left over shredded pork with green chilis, sour cream, and Cholula hot sauce
Frittata‐ scrambled eggs with bell peppers, onions, spinach, cheese, heavy cream bake in oven until done
I tend to make a lot of different scrambles that all have flavor!


Lunch:
Salad with a protein (chicken steak etc), cheese, ranch, little red onion 
Meat roll ups‐ just take meat and roll up and eat
Tuna Salad
Chicken Salad

Fast food wise:
Chic Flia‐ side salad with avocado ranch dressing and 8 piece grilled nugget (6 carbs, I pick the carrots out to lower the carb amount)
In and out‐ burger protein style, no sauce, grilled onions
Jimmy johns‐ any sandwich unwhich style, my favorite is the #9 VITO! (lettuce wrapped) watch for the vinaigrettes in some of the sandwiches‐ mayo and mustard are OKAY to eat.
Wendys chicken Cesar salad – no croutons half of the ceasar dressing 
Carls Jr‐ will make any burger protein style with lettuce wrap
Any fast food you can make work but I try to avoid it at all possible.


Dinners:
Steak with a vegetable of some sorts, broccoli with butter (any vegetable that is expectable on the list that I’ve attached to this email.
Chicken breast grilled‐ buffalo sauce is very low carb and you can dip that in ranch Shrimp seasoned with garlic and butter
JalapeƱo poppers stuffed with cream cheese and cheese wrapped in bacon

Tacos‐ use bib lettuce instead of tortillas‐ ground meat (make sure the seasoning you use is lower in carbs), sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce.
