Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium zucchini spiralized
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened and cubed
- 1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated and divided
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- freshly grated nutmeg to taste
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes rough chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a grill, or grill pan, to medium-high heat. Pat the chicken breasts dry, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until no pink remains in the middle. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute one minute.
- Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the cream cheese and whisk until the cream cheese melts.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened, then whisk in 1 cup of the parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
- Meanwhile, place the zoodles in a microwave-safe bowl uncovered and cook on high, for 3 minutes. Transfer the zoodles to a colander lined with paper towels and gently squeeze out any moisture from the zoodles. Set aside.
- Add the sundried tomatoes, chicken, and zoodles to the sauce. Toss to combine well. Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
