Ingredients
Avocado Alfredo sauce and zoodles
- 1 lb zucchini, spiralized
- 1 (7 oz.) avocado
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (2¾ oz.) shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ cup (½ oz.) fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and ground black pepper
Chicken
- 4 (12⁄3 lbs) boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)
- salt and ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- If using whole zucchini, spiralize it or cut it into zoodles and set it aside.
- Add all the sauce ingredients together in a saucepan and blend until smooth with an immersion blender. (Or blend together in a food processor, then transfer to a saucepan.)
- In the saucepan, bring the sauce to a boil on medium heat. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer while you prepare the chicken.
- Season the chicken with thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat up a large frying pan with oil on medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 6 minutes per side or until the center is no longer pink.
- Right before serving, toss the zoodles together in the Alfredo sauce until they are completely covered.
- Divide the creamy zoodles onto plates and place sliced pieces of chicken on top. Garnish with shredded Parmesan, ground black pepper, and parsley.
Tips
If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can often buy packaged spiralized zucchini. You can also just use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to make noodle-like ribbons.
