Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 large zucchinis
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 2 cloves minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden-brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the butter, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender.

Step 4

Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder into the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce come to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Add the zucchini noodles to the sauce in the skillet and toss gently to coat them with the sauce.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the shredded mozzarella cheese, and stir to combine everything. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to ensure everything is hot and the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
