I’ve been looking for some quick and easy recipes that could become a regular part of our new primal menu. I decided to adapt a regular recipe to make it work. This one for Chicken Alfredo is the result and it was a hit with all the family.
Ingredients:
- 700 g chicken
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 150 g bacon bits
- 1 Tabsp butter
- 500 mls cream
- 40 g Parmesan cheese
- 50 g cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Fry up bacon and garlic with the nutmeg. Set aside.
- Fry up the chicken in the butter making sure its fully cooked through and set aside.
- Pour the cream into the pan. Simmer for 5 mins (don’t boil).
- Add the bacon and chicken and simmer for another 5 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with steamed `zoodles’ (4 zucchinis spiralled to look like noodles and lightly steamed. I have a machine that makes `noodles’ from vegetables.)
Note: The sauce seems not to thicken up but it does on cooling a little.
Verdict:
Everyone wanted seconds on this one and there was enough for a couple of extras. You could probably expand the recipe to 1 1/2 times and six people would get seconds. Even if there’s no chicken left, the sauce is great by itself on the zoodles.
We hope you will enjoy this great primal Chicken Alfredo as much as we do.
Hi, Loving your site – which machine do you use to make your noodles? 🙂
Hi Jenni,
Sharon is the one who has the noodle machine. I will get her to let you know asap.

Hi Jenni,
Sorry this reply took me so long. I have Chef Avenues version of The Spirooli. I got it off eBay then found the original cheaper here: http://www.rawpower.com.au/raw-food-kitchen/tools-gadgets/spirooli-vegetable-slicer
It really is a great ‘little’ tool.

thanks! this was a great recipe! (though I didn’t add any cheese but there’s cheese listed in the ingredients). Will make it again, and as for the Paleo Thermomix recipes, if you host one of those classes in Perth, I’ll be there 😀
