Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 zucchinis, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup cream
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Using a spiralizer, mandoline, or vegetable peeler, turn the zucchini into thin noodles. Microwave the noodles for 1-2 minutes, then drain any liquid.

  • Add the cream, Parmesan, and parsley to the pan, stirring until evenly combined. Bring to a boil, then stir until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3-5 minutes. Put the chicken back in the sauce and stir to coat. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then stir until the sauce has reduced by about half. Remove from heat.
  • Toss the zucchini noodles in with the chicken mixture and stir until the noodles are coated evenly. Serve with more Parmesan and parsley, if desired.
