Add some heat to your alfredo sauce! This keto chicken and sausage dish is topped with Cajun alfredo sauce. It’s a fun twist on a classic recipe.
Chicken and Sausage Alfredo
This simple Cajun chicken skillet recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes – and it’s even faster when you use precooked chicken or sausage. It’s a full-flavored entree that you can change easily – add noodles, serve without cauliflower rice – the options are endless.
It’s a peppery and yet creamy alfredo skillet recipe that has just as much heat as you want it to. Kids love the combination of chicken and sausage, and you’ll love how easy it is.
It’s a simple recipe that you can throw together at the last second.
Cajun Alfredo
I love how well the creamy alfredo sauce goes with the spicy Cajun seasoning. I’ve made this combination before when I made my viral Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage cabbage alfredo recipe.
It’s amazing how delicious the cabbage is! Then I made Keto Cajun shrimp and zoodles alfredo that tasted delicious, too. I love the shrimp in that one.
I love how you can make it as spicy as you like and the creamy alfredo sauce brings the heat down just enough to make it delectable. Try it yourself!
Adjust the spice level just a bit more and see how delicious it is.
Sausage Alfredo
I love how the chicken tastes with the sliced sausages. For the best flavor, use Andouille sausage. If you can handle even more heat, slice up some spicy sausages and use them, instead.
When you slice the sausages, try to slice them the same size. As you fry them in the skillet, you want them to cook at the same rate. It would be terrible if one slice was almost burned and the other one was still cool in the middle.
What To Eat With Alfredo
This Cajun alfredo already includes a few different veggies – cauliflower rice and bell peppers. But if you want to add some healthy sides, start out with a Cheesecake Factory copycat salad. It will taste perfect with the Cajun alfredo.
Definitely make some keto garlic knots. You’ll enjoy dipping them into the alfredo sauce.
And if you want to add more veggies to the table, make bacon wrapped asparagus on the side too. Everything is better with bacon!
How To Store Alfredo
Add this easy skillet Cajun alfredo recipe to your weekly meal prep. Since it’s made without pasta, it will reheat really easily.
Store it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days. This pasta-free alfredo is also freezer-friendly.
Just place the gluten-free alfredo skillet recipe into a freezer-safe bag, seal it, and keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then, reheat it in a skillet until it’s heated all the way through.
