INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low-Fat (2%) Milk
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and pour in the low-fat milk. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and allow the sauce to gently simmer, stirring frequently to create a creamy consistency. Add an extra pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Add the zucchini noodles to the sauce and toss to coat, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Plate the zucchini noodles topped with the sliced chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your light, protein-packed, creamy chicken alfredo dinner.
