Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create 'noodles'. Set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. In the same skillet, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the spiralized zucchini to the creamy sauce and toss gently for 2-3 minutes until heated through and coated in sauce.
