Low-carb Chicken Alfredo Zoodles
Indulge in a delicious and guilt-free meal with this Low-Carb Chicken Alfredo Zoodles recipe. This dish is a healthier alternative to traditional pasta Alfredo, using zucchini noodles and a creamy, flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine with the zoodles and sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and serve the Low-Carb Chicken Alfredo Zoodles hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
