Ingredients

Chicken

• 600g chicken breast, sliced into strips
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Alfredo Sauce

• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (90g) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Zoodles

• 4 medium zucchinis (700g), spiralized
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Toss spiralized zucchini with 1 tsp salt and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season chicken strips with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
6. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese gradually until fully melted and smooth.
7. Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
8. In a separate pan over high heat, cook dried zoodles for 2 minutes, tossing constantly.
9. Drain any water released and add zoodles to the alfredo sauce. Toss to coat.
10. Slice the cooked chicken and lay it on top of the sauced zoodles.
11. Serve immediately with extra parmesan.

Tips & Variations

• Use freshly grated parmesan only; pre-grated cheese contains anti-caking agents that make sauces grainy.
• If sauce is too thick, thin it with 2-3 tbsp of chicken broth.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes or baby spinach to the sauce for color and extra nutrients.
• Leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days; reheat gently on low heat with a splash of cream.
• For a richer sauce, stir in 2 tbsp cream cheese along with the parmesan.
