Creamy Chicken Alfredo Zoodles

Discover why easy chicken alfredo zoodles are a quick healthy delight. This low-carb dinner features tender zucchini noodles and succulent chicken in a rich, homemade Parmesan cream sauce.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 large zucchini, spiralized
2 large chicken breasts, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Spiralize the zucchini and place them on paper towels. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sauté until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a light simmer. Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
Step 5: Add the zoodles and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Toss gently for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are slightly tender and coated in sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

To avoid a watery sauce, do not overcook the zucchini noodles. 2-3 minutes is all they need!
