Ingredients
Scale
2 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken slices lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Whisk in the softened cream cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil.
