Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium zucchini spiralized into noodles
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Instructions
 

  • Prep the zoodles. Spiralize the zucchini, then lay the noodles on a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture while you cook the chicken. Blot dry before using.
  • Cook the chicken. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Alfredo sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stir in Parmesan, and whisk until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
  • Combine zoodles and sauce. Add the dried zoodles to the saucepan. Toss gently for 1-2 minutes until heated through but still al dente. Overcooking will make them mushy!
  • Plate and serve. Divide the zoodle Alfredo between bowls, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with parsley, extra Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.
