Cooking Instructions

  • Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Spiralize the zucchinis and set them aside. If you prefer, you can lightly salt them to draw out excess moisture.
  • Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  • Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the zucchini noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles and chicken in the creamy sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
