Ingredients:

• 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer and set them aside.
2. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet, cooking until they’re golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Add the heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer. Allow the cream to thicken slightly, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce.
5. Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the Alfredo sauce to coat well.
6. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the zoodles are tender.
7. Melt the butter into the mixture, giving it a final toss to ensure everything is evenly coated and sumptuously creamy.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary.
9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Cooking Tips:

• To prevent the zoodles from getting too soggy, avoid overcooking them. They should be slightly al dente.
• If the Alfredo sauce thickens too much, thin it out with a splash of milk or pasta water.
• For an extra boost of flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce.
• For a gluten-free dish, ensure that all ingredients are certified gluten-free.

This Chicken Alfredo Zoodle Bowl is sure to satisfy your cravings with its creamy sauce and tender chicken, all while keeping things healthier with zoodles as a pasta substitute. Enjoy your guilt-free, comforting meal!
