Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to the heavy cream for an extra 15g of protein!
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace the pasta with zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles for a low-carb and keto-friendly option.
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the chicken and mushrooms in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway, for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
Recommended Skillet & Air Fryer Tools
• Large skillet with a heavy bottom (I used a cast-iron skillet)
• Instant-read culinary thermometer
• Kitchen shears for portioning the pasta
