Chicken Alfredo for One image

I love alfredo and wanted to create a self contained low carb meal for one so here it is. Although this alfredo will not be white, it is so good you won't care! You could use low carb pasta but we eat it all by itself. You could substitute a couple broccoli florets for asparagus or even add them if you wish!
