How I Make It

We have made this with chicken breasts as well as pork chops. The creamy truffle sauce is very versatile and pairs well with other meats, so feel free to swap the protein for whatever you prefer or have available!

The only ingredient you may not have readily available in your cabinet is the truffle seasoning. We use Sabatino Tartufi's truffle zest seasoning and it is SO GOOD. We got it from Amazon and we highly recommend!

Ingredients

  • 4 whole carrots
  • 6 oz cremini mushrooms
  • 2 green onions
  • 3 Chicken breasts
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp truffle zest

Step-By-Step Directions

Prep: 8 minutes | Cook: 25 minutes | Servings: 3

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Trim and peel carrots. Slice at an angle about half an inch thick.
  3. Clean and cut cremini mushrooms.
  4. Chop green onions.
  5. Place carrots into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir evenly to coat carrots.
  6. Spread carrots onto a foiled-lined baking sheet. Roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Time to cook your chicken! You can bake, air-fry or pan-sear on the stove. (Check out this post for how to prep your chicken!)
  8. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Heat oil (preferably olive oil or avocado oil) over medium-high heat.
  10. Add chicken to hot pan and cook 5-7 minutes on each side. (Pro tip: Melt butter in between the breasts for added deliciousness). Sear until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  11. Time to make the creamy truffle sauce. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan you used for the chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms to hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes, or until mushrooms are softened.
  12. Add cream cheese, half a cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of truffle zest. (Start with 1/2 teaspoon but add more to your taste.) Remove from heat.
  13. Slice chicken breasts into about 5 pieces each. Plate chicken and carrots, drizzling your creamy truffle sauce over the chicken. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!

Note: If you are really watching your carbs you may want to substitute in a lower carb vegetable in place of the carrots (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc) in this recipe. If you choose to use the carrots just be mindful of your portion size as each medium sized carrot has around 4 net carbs each.
