Instructions
Creating Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to put together this delightful dish:
1. Prep Zucchini: Use a spiralizer to create noodles from the zucchinis and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest.
3. Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
4. Combine Zoodles: Add the zucchini noodles to the alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the zucchinis soften slightly.
5. Slice Chicken: While the noodles are cooking, slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.
6. Combine and Serve: Add the sliced chicken to the zucchini noodles and sauce. Toss gently to combine everything evenly.
7. Garnish: Serve the Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or cracked pepper if desired.
