Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium zucchinis, spiralized
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the zucchini noodles and Alfredo sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut milk and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
Add your favorite vegetables like broccoli florets or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
