Ingredients
  

2 large zucchini, spiralized (or 4-5 medium-sized zucchini)

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Red pepper flakes, for added heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini:

    - Start by spiralizing the zucchini to create long, noodle-like strands using a spiralizer. If you lack one, a vegetable peeler can be used to create thin, ribbon-style strips. Once spiralized, gently pat the zucchini noodles dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, as this helps prevent the noodles from becoming soggy. Set the prepared zucchini aside.

      Cook the Chicken:

        - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken pieces into the skillet, seasoning them generously with salt, black pepper, and a light sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Sauté the chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the pieces are beautifully golden brown and fully cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

          Create the Alfredo Sauce:

            - In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, ensuring you do not let it burn. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly as you bring it to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce reaches a smooth consistency, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

              Combine Ingredients:

                - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet filled with the luscious Alfredo sauce. Gently fold in the zucchini noodles, making sure they are well coated in the creamy sauce. Cook this mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, just enough to warm the noodles through while maintaining a delightful slight crunch.

                  Serve and Garnish:

                    - Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or Italian seasoning to suit your preference. Serve the chicken Alfredo zucchini noodles immediately in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. For those who enjoy a little heat, offer a light dusting of red pepper flakes on top.
