Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing your zucchini and using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Microwave the noodles for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly, and then drain any excess liquid.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 7 minutes until cooked and golden brown.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, scraping bits from the pan. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Reduce heat to low, return chicken to sauce, and mix. Fold in zucchini noodles, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately garnished with Parmesan and parsley.
