Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large zucchini
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, or to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ¼ cups evaporated skim milk
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons vegan cream cheese substitute (such as Tofutti ®)
salt to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pinch dried basil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Spread on the baking sheet; cover with another layer of paper towels.
  • Bake zucchini noodles in the preheated oven until dried out, about 30 minutes.
  • Season chicken with poultry seasoning.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in sun-dried tomatoes, oil, and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir evaporated skim milk, Parmesan cheese, and vegan cream cheese into the skillet until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, red pepper flakes, and basil. Stir in zucchini noodles until evenly coated with sauce.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was cooked well. However, I would make a few changes next time, such as using less cream and sun-dried tomatoes and cooking the zucchini noodles for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble getting the zucchini noodles to cook evenly. Some of them were still a bit crunchy, while others were overcooked. I would recommend cooking the noodles for a shorter amount of time and checking them frequently.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the sun-dried tomatoes were a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less cream and sun-dried tomatoes next time.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but this dish was surprisingly good! The sauce was very flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I used my own homemade sun-dried tomatoes and they added a lot of flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I made this dish for my family last night and everyone loved it! The zucchini noodles were a great way to get some extra veggies in, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
