INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by spiralizing or using a vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles from the zucchini. Set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Sauté the chicken in olive oil over medium heat until cooked through and golden, about 5-6 minutes per side, then remove and allow to rest before slicing.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the low-sodium chicken broth to deglaze the pan, stirring to combine any brown bits.
Mix in the light cream cheese and low-fat milk, stirring continuously over medium-low heat until a creamy sauce forms. Add additional Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
Toss the zucchini noodles in the sauce, warming them gently until just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to retain their fresh texture.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and arrange over the creamy zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra boost of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your lightened-up, protein-packed chicken alfredo dinner.
