- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest.
In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cream cheese and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring until smooth and well combined.
Stir in 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, thyme, and basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini noodles, chicken, and creamy sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
