Healthy Chicken Alfredo

It's a little too easy. Ready?

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and season both sides of the chicken generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add chicken breasts to skillet and cook 8 to 9 minutes in total for medium chicken breasts and 9 to 10 minutes total for large chicken breasts, turning once in halfway. Once cooked, transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board or plate and let stand for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, make your alfredo sauce healthy and dairy-free!


Combine all alfredo ingredients in a high speed blender and process until it is completely smooth. If your blender heats up your content, great! Just process until it's hot and ready. If your blender does not heat its contents, transfer the alfredo sauce to a saucepan after it is completely soft and heat over medium-low heat.
