Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis (zoodles)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced)

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Optional: red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles: Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create zoodles from the zucchinis. Set aside and sprinkle lightly with salt to draw out moisture.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

        Combine Zoodles and Chicken: Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until they are evenly coated. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still al dente. Then, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well.

          Serve: Plate the Chicken Alfredo Zoodles, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful low-carb twist on classic Alfredo!
