Why Zoodles Work
Zucchini noodles, or zoodles, are a keto staple. They’re low in carbs, quick to make, and absorb flavors beautifully. Here, they soak up a creamy, buttery Alfredo sauce packed with parmesan, garlic, and tender chicken breast.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis (~400g), spiralized
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breast in a skillet with a little butter, salt, and pepper until fully cooked. Slice and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Slowly stir in the parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.
- Cook the Zoodles: Lightly sauté the zoodles in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender.
- Combine and Serve: Toss the chicken and zoodles in the Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
