Instructions
Creating Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Using a spiralizer, create noodles from the zucchinis. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
3. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
5. Season the Sauce: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to taste. Stir well to combine.
6. Combine Chicken and Zoodles: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it, along with the zucchini noodles, to the skillet. Toss everything together until the zoodles are coated in the Alfredo sauce and heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
