Creamy, Garlic Chicken

Rich and full of flavour, this creamy garlic chicken tastes so decadent you'd expect it to be full of fat, but it's not, it is however high protein, low carb, low fat and full of flavour.

Serve this baby on a cold winter's night with some mashed potatoes, or a cauliflower mash (if you prefer low carb), or even cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and serve with pasta or zoodles for the ultimate comfort food.
