Swapping traditional pasta for zucchini noodles, this creamy dish is packed with protein and flavor, making it a satisfying meal for any night of the week. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s an easy way to enjoy a comforting classic without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  4. Top with grilled chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy a creamy, low-carb meal that even the kids will love!

Notes

  • If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin zucchini strips or buy pre-spiralized zucchini noodles at most grocery stores.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with chicken broth, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • This dish is best served fresh, as zucchini noodles can release water if reheated.
  • Perfect for families in Idaho or Alaska looking for a quick, healthy dinner after a day of outdoor activities.
