Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Go chu jang (Korean chili paste)
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix the chicken with gochujang and minced garlic. Set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into noodles (zoodles). If you don't have a spiralizer, you can slice the zucchini thinly.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the zucchini noodles to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is slightly tender.
Remove the pan from the heat, and quickly stir in the cream mixture. The residual heat will cook the sauce, making it creamy. Stir continuously to prevent scrambling the eggs.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the dish and give it a final toss to combine all the flavors.
Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor and serve immediately.
