Who doesn’t love chicken Alfredo? ♀️ One of the things I love most about this recipe is that I feel super full after I’m done, but I don’t feel weighed down or sluggish like I do when I normally eat chicken Alfredo I made the whole thing in about 30 mins after I got off work and I was blown away how good it tasted It was my first time making homemade Alfredo sauce, and I’ll never eat it from a jar again. It tasted so much better and was SO much healthier too: it’s a win-win

Ingredients:
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tablespoon flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup skim milk
1 oz reduced fat cream cheese
¾ cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon parsley
Directions:
1. Cut raw chicken into slices and place in skillet coated with olive oil spray. Place over medium heat and cook for ~15-20 mins or until chicken is fully cooked (flipping chicken every 5 mins or so). Then set aside.
2. While chicken is cooking, use a spiralizer to make zucchini into zoodles. *If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can buy pre-spiralized zuchinni, or use a peeler to make ribbon zuchinni noodles!* Sauté in large pan over medium-high heat for 5 mins (toss constantly!) Then place in a large bowl and set aside.
3. Make Alfredo sauce: add olive oil to large pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and sauté for about 5 mins until it just starts to brown. Then, add 1 tablespoon flour at a time - whisking after you add each one. Slowly add chicken broth to pan - whisking constantly, then slowly add the milk (again, whisking constantly). When mixture starts to bubble a little, add cream cheese and Parmesan cheese and whisk until mixed, then remove from heat. Stir in pepper and parsley.
4. Spoon ¼ of the zoodles into bowl, top with about ½-1/3 cup sauce, top with slices of chicken and enjoy!
