Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 medium zucchinis, spiralized
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1cup heavy cream
1/2cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens.
Add Italian seasoning if using, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Toss in the spiralized zucchini noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together until well coated with the Alfredo sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Do not overcook the zoodles; they should be just tender, not mushy.
You can substitute chicken with shrimp or turkey for variation.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and creaminess.
