Instructions

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
Sear chicken in butter/oil over medium-high heat until cooked. Set aside.
In the same pan, sauté garlic, then add cream. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
Stir in parmesan (and cream cheese if using) until smooth.
Add zucchini noodles and toss for 2–3 minutes until warmed.
Return chicken to pan. Toss and serve immediately with more cheese.

Garnish with parsley, lemon zest, or chili flakes for extra flavor
