Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Red pepper flakes, optional for a kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:

    - Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles. Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

      Cook the Chicken:

        - In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

          - Once the oil is hot, add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

            - Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

              Make the Alfredo Sauce:

                - In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

                  - Pour in the heavy cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent it from scorching.

                    - Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Add more cheese for a thicker sauce if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

                      Combine Everything:

                        - Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

                          - Gently toss in the zucchini noodles, coating them thoroughly in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender but still have a crisp texture.

                            Serve:

                              - Plate your creamy chicken Alfredo zucchini noodles. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.

                                Enjoy this delightful, lower-carb twist on traditional Alfredo pasta!
