Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchinis, ends trimmed
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup heavy cream (180 mL)
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (110 g), plus extra for garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set the noodles aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
