In this video, I demonstrate that good Italian is indeed possible on Atkins or a low carb diet. The unique ingredient in this Low Carb Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is the cream cheese in the sauce. As I mentioned in the video, there are lots of different options for to place the sauce on: — Spaghetti Squash (demonstrated in the video) — Dreamfield Pasta www.amazon.com — or one of my favorite, Riced Cauliflower.
