Lightened-Up Creamy Chicken Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles
Savor a lighter twist on the classic Alfredo by combining tender grilled chicken with zucchini noodles and a creamy, tangy sauce made from nonfat Greek yogurt and a hint of Parmesan. This dish offers a satisfying balance of lean protein and fresh vegetables with a subtle herb infusion.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Italian Herbs (optional)
PREPARATION
Start by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles or use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips. Set aside in a colander to drain any excess moisture.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook each side for about 5-6 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt. Add the grated Parmesan cheese along with a pinch of Italian herbs. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss in the sauce until they are evenly coated and slightly warmed, about 2-3 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and arrange over the zucchini noodles. Garnish with additional black pepper or Italian herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
