1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Keto Alfredo Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese, whisking until smooth.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Bake

Notes
- Want extra crunch? Add crushed pork rinds or almond flour “breadcrumbs” on top.
- Protein swaps: Try this with shrimp or ground turkey instead of chicken.
- Make it dairy-free: Use coconut cream + dairy-free cheese.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
