Preparation
- Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to make thin strips. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and sauté until fully warmed through (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir well, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the zucchini noodles and cooked chicken into the sauce. Toss everything together gently, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Transfer to plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and add an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
Notes
For substitutions, swap the heavy cream for coconut cream for a dairy-free option. You can use grilled shrimp or tofu instead of chicken for a vegetarian option. Avoid overcooking the zoodles to retain their crunch, and add salt gradually to control seasoning.
