2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to use high-quality, measured components to ensure the best flavor and texture.
For this recipe, I recommend using boneless, skinless chicken breast, unsalted butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and fettuccine pasta.
Don’t be afraid to add a sprinkle of dried basil and a pinch of salt and pepper to give it that extra oomph!
