Ingredients

• 2 Chicken breasts - 300 grams
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning - 5 grams
• 1 tablespoon olive oil - 15 ml
• 1 cup heavy cream - 240 ml

• 2 medium zucchinis - 300 grams
• 1 tablespoon butter - 15 grams
• 2 cloves garlic - 6 grams

Steps

1. Start by spiralizing the zucchinis to create zucchini noodles and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
