Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 4 cups spiralized zucchini (zoodles)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Season the sliced chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and chicken broth, whisking constantly until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly firm.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Toss well to combine and heat through.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
Serve immediately, enjoying your creamy chicken pasta with a keto-friendly twist!
