Ingredients:
- 2 large zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by spiralizing the zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler to create long, noodle-like strips. Place the zoodle on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and then add the minced garlic and diced onions. Sauté until the onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the zoodles to the pan with the onions and garlic, and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the zoodles are tender but still have some crunch.
- Lower the heat and add the cooked chicken back into the pan, then pour the Alfredo sauce over the top. Stir well to combine, allowing all the ingredients to be coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the stir-fry and toss until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
