A creamy and healthy Chicken Alfredo made with zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Low-carb, gluten-free, and ready in 25 minutes—perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
2 chicken breasts, sliced
3 medium zucchinis, spiralized
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp cream cheese, pinch nutmeg, red chili flakes
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.
Don’t overcook the zoodles or they’ll release water
Use dairy-free cream and cheese for a vegan/paleo option
Garnish with parsley, lemon zest, or chili flakes for extra flavor
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (separate components for best texture)
