Here’s What You Need For This Low Carb Creamy Chicken Bacon Spinach Mushroom Pasta:

  • Unsalted butter
  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Lemons
  • Red onion, diced
  • Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • Fresh spinach
  • Bacon bits
  • Fresh garlic, minced
  • Dry white wine
  • Half and half
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Shredded parmesan cheese
  • Pink Himalayan salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Recipe Notes:

You can use your favorite low carb pasta/noodle substitute, like zoodles, spaghetti squash, or shirataki noodles. We also love Great Low Carb Company’s noodles! They’re amazing! Because of the wide variety of noodle options out there, we don’t include them in the macros, so you can determine how to work this dish into your diet at home. As always, you can find the full nutritional breakdown for everything (except the noodles) in the recipe card.

Spices: We used garlic powder in addition to the fresh garlic to ramp up the garlic flavor. You could also use all fresh, or, simply just use garlic powder for everything. Your choice!

Tools:

  • Chopping Block
  • Sharp Chef’s Knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
  • Metal Tongs
  • Wooden Spoon

Let’s Make This Low Carb Creamy Chicken Bacon Spinach and Mushroom Pasta:


Prepare your noodle substitute of choice and set aside.

Season your chicken breasts liberally with salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a skillet, melt half of your butter (2 tbsp). Sear the chicken until it is browned on both sides and cooked all the way thru. Drizzle with juice of 1/2 a lemon while it’s still in the pan.

When it’s cooked, (after about 10 minutes) remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Add 1 tbsp of butter to the pan, and add in diced onions and sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt of pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes and then add in your spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted and soft, about 3 minutes, then remove all of the vegetables from the pan.

  • searing chicken breasts in cast iron
  • sauteed mushrooms and onions in cast iron
  • cooked spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and onions

Add in the remaining 1 tbsp of butter, then add in your bacon bits to crisp up over medium-high heat. Once they are crispy, add in the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, pour in the dry white wine. Cook on medium-high for about 3 minutes to cook off the alcohol.

Next, add in your half and half, heavy whipping cream, remaining lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Stir constantly until parmesan cheese is melted and fully incorporated.

Add the mushrooms, spinach and onion back to the pan. Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and add those to the pan as well. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preferences. Stir in your noodle replacement of choice.

  • wine, bacon, and garlic in cast iron
  • cream, wine, and bacon in cast iron skillet
  • chicken in creamy pasta sauce

Garnish with parmesan cheese, more bacon bits, and lemon juice. Enjoy!
