Quick Keto Chicken Alfredo

The key to making this recipe quick is using precooked chicken. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. If no leftover chicken is available then use prepacked or canned chicken.

Making This Sauce

Making a nice creamy sauce is what can make or break this recipe. No one wants a thin tasteless sauce.
