Zoodle Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zoodle Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chicken and zucchini dish, grab a large bowl and mix together kosher salt with boiling water, stirring until the salt completely dissolves.

2. Step 2

   Next, add cold water and your chicken strips to the bowl, ensuring they’re well submerged.

3. Step 3

   Pop the bowl in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.

4. Step 4

   This step is key for infusing flavor and keeping the chicken juicy.

5. Step 5

   Once the time is up, drain the chicken and gently pat it dry with paper towels.

6. Step 6

   While the chicken is marinating, let’s prepare the zucchini.

7. Step 7

   Using a mandoline, slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick, and then cut those rounds into strips that resemble fettuccine.

8. Step 8

   Place the zucchini strips in a bowl and sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons of salt.

9. Step 9

   Allow them to sit for 30 minutes; this will help soften the zucchini and draw out excess moisture.

10. Step 10

    Now, it’s time to cook the chicken.

11. Step 11

    Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat.

12. Step 12

    Add the marinated chicken strips and cook them until they’re beautifully browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a bowl and set it aside.

14. Step 14

    In the same skillet, add a generous pat of butter and turn the heat up to high.

15. Step 15

    Crush a few cloves of garlic directly into the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

16. Step 16

    Pour in some heavy cream and bring it to a gentle boil.

17. Step 17

    Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce, which should take around 2 minutes.

18. Step 18

    Don’t forget to season with freshly cracked black pepper for that extra kick! Now, add the zucchini strips to the skillet and cook them gently for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite.

19. Step 19

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together, allowing it to heat through for about a minute.

20. Step 20

    This is where all those flavors come together beautifully! Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

21. Step 21

    For a pop of color and freshness, garnish your dish with halved grape tomatoes before serving.

    Enjoy this delightful meal that’s not only satisfying but also packed with flavor and nutrition!.
