Easy Chicken Alfredo with Zoodles

Ingredients

  • 4 small fresh crisp zucchini, spiralized into zoodles (https://cleanfoodcrush.com/spiralizer)
  • 4 small chicken breast fillets
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil, divided
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or to taste
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 ounces organic cream cheese at room temperature OR you may use 1.5 ounces of coconut cream for a non-dairy option (but the small amount of cream cheese is pretty awesome here)

Instructions

  • Place zucchini noodles on paper towels and sprinkle with a tiny bit of sea salt.
  • Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add in chicken breasts then season with sea salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Set aside on a plate to rest for a few minutes, then slice.
  • Gently pat dry zucchini noodles with paper towels.
  • Add remaining oil to the pan and cook the minced garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add zucchini noodles into your hot pan and saute for about 2 minutes.
  • Add in cream cheese, chili flakes into the hot pan and stir gently to combine.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dish up zucchini noodles equally onto 4 plates, and add sliced chicken on top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
