Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Chicken : Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Make Alfredo Sauce : In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Cook Zoodles : Add spiralized zucchini to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently for 2–3 minutes until zoodles are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Combine Chicken and Zoodles : Return cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with zoodles and sauce until evenly coated and heated through.
  • Garnish and Serve : Sprinkle with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
