2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to this recipe, the ingredients are just as important as the cooking technique.
I use high-quality zucchini noodles, unsalted butter, and Parmesan cheese to create a rich and creamy sauce.
The cooked chicken breast adds protein and texture, while the heavy cream provides a velvety consistency.
