Preparation Steps
- Begin by spiralizing the zucchini using a spiralizer to create your zoodles. This should yield about 4 cups of zoodles. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add another tablespoon of butter. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute, then pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese into the simmering cream and garlic mixture. Keep stirring until the cheese melts completely and the sauce thickens.
- Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or just until the zoodles are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Slice the cooked chicken breast and layer it on top of the zoodles in the skillet. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Notes
For best results, use a spiralizer for even zoodles and avoid overcooking them in the sauce.
