Ingredients
– 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo:
1. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Spiralize the zucchinis using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Once the cream is simmering, gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper as desired.
6. Combine Zucchini Noodles: Add the zucchini noodles to the sauce and toss to coat them thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and slightly softened.
7. Add Chicken: Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, mixing it into the noodles and sauce. Heat everything for another minute to ensure it’s warm.
8. Serve Immediately: Plate your Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo and garnish with fresh basil if desired!
