Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 3 medium zucchinis
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried basil or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and let them drain in a colander.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and slice.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add heavy cream, stirring constantly until simmering.
  4. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt, pepper, and basil or Italian seasoning.
  5. Toss zucchini noodles in the sauce until well coated and heated through (about 2 minutes).
  6. Serve topped with sliced chicken and extra Parmesan if desired.
