Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 3 large Zucchini
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season them evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes, until tender but still firm to the bite.
Meanwhile, slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.
Once the zucchini noodles are cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until well incorporated.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, along with any juices that may have collected. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
