Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 medium zucchinis
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the heavy cream and butter to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, letting it cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, mixing until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add them back to the skillet with the noodles. Toss to combine and heat through.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
