If you’re craving a rich, creamy comfort meal but want to stay low carb, this Low Carb Chicken Alfredo is about to become a staple in your kitchen.
As someone who has lost 70 pounds eating a low-carb lifestyle, I stick to meals that are satisfying, realistic, and easy to make on a weeknight. This one checks every box. Instead of pasta, we’re using oven-roasted cabbage as the base, and it soaks up the Alfredo sauce beautifully.
This recipe is cozy, filling, and proof that low carb does not mean boring.
Why Use Cabbage Instead of Pasta?
Roasted cabbage is one of my favorite low-carb swaps because it:
Holds up well under creamy sauces
Adds texture without extra carbs
Is affordable and easy to prep
Keeps you full without feeling heavy
Once roasted, it becomes the perfect “noodle” for Alfredo.
How to Make Low Carb Chicken Alfredo
Step 1: Roast the Cabbage Noodles
Start by cutting one head of cabbage into long strips.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Drizzle generously with olive oil
Season with salt and pepper (measure with your heart)
I use my favorite salt & pepper grinder for this — it’s sleek, works incredibly well, and makes cooking feel effortless.👉 Grab the exact one I use here: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/saltpeppergrind
Toss everything well so the cabbage is evenly coated. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, until tender with lightly crisped edges.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
While the cabbage is roasting:
Cube 2 lbs of chicken
Cook in a skillet with butter
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder
Cook until fully done, then set aside
Simple seasoning, big flavor.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce
This sauce is rich, creamy, and surprisingly protein-packed.
Blend until smooth:
2 cups cottage cheese
2 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)
2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Garlic powder and onion powder to taste
Once smooth, pour the sauce into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble.
Step 4: Assemble
To serve:
Plate the roasted cabbage noodles
Spoon the chicken and Alfredo sauce over the top
That’s it — creamy, comforting, and completely low carb.

Final Notes
Struggling to stay low carb? Is the food noise loud? Crashing hard in the afternoon even when your meals are on point?
I know that cycle all too well.
Before losing 70 pounds, consistency was the hardest part for me — not because I didn’t know what to eat, but because cravings, low energy, and mental fog made it exhausting to stay the course. What changed everything was pairing simple low-carb meals like this with ketones — specifically Keto Nat.
Ketones helped:
Quiet the food noise
Support steady energy (no afternoon crash)
Make low carb feel sustainable instead of restrictive
