INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups spiralized Zucchini
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Start by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles and set them aside in a colander to drain any excess moisture.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Minced the garlic clove and add it to the pan during the last minute of chicken cooking to release its aroma.
Lower the heat and stir in the low-fat milk and low-fat cream cheese, stirring continuously until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth, light sauce.
Mix in the Parmesan cheese and allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Toss the zucchini noodles into the pan, gently coating them with the creamy sauce and warming them for 1-2 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep the noodles crisp.
Plate the dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
