A lightened-up version of the classic chicken Alfredo using zucchini noodles for a lower-carb meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer chicken to one side of the pan.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream (or remove from heat if using Greek yogurt). If using cream, simmer gently; for Greek yogurt, stir in off heat.
  4. Gradually stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Add spiralized zucchini noodles and toss gently to coat. Cook for 2–3 minutes to warm through.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat dry the zucchini noodles to prevent a watery sauce. For a thicker sauce, reduce cream before adding cheese.
