We interrupt this broadcast....

I don't normally post food blog posts in the evening but this was so good, and I didn't follow a recipe or write it down so I wanted to get it down STAT!!

My favorite Keto dinner yet.

Alfredo chicken ala Florentine, with cheesy walnut pesto spaghetti squash. 

We chose to grill the chicken breasts, after brining for about an hour. We used this method: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_grill_juicy_boneless_skinless_chicken_breasts/

While they brined and then cooked, I steamed the spaghetti squash in the microwave- just stab that sucker a bunch of times with a knife and then cook for 10 minutes. It does all the work. You can cut it in half with a spoon afterward.

I cooked 4 slices of bacon.

Once the squash was steamed, I used a fork to pull the meat out, and mixed in a bowl with a tube of pesto, about a cup of 4 cheese parmesan blend, a handful of crushed walnuts, a big healthy swig of olive oil, and lots of salt and pepper. I put it in a pie pan and poured about 4 tablespoons of melted butter on the top, then baked at 375 for about 15 minutes.

I used a skillet with olive oil to cook chopped garlic and then added a bag of frozen spinach. After it thawed I added a handful of grape tomatoes and the bacon (which I had cut into pieces), let it simmer until the grape tomatoes split.

The alfredo was jarred. Heated it up. 

Once the chicken was done plating was easy and fun, the spinach on bottom, chicken in the middle, alfredo on top. Served alongside the squash.

I thought it was restaurant quality good!
