Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium-sized
• Chicken breast - 300 grams, diced
• Butter - 50 grams
• Heavy cream - 100 milliliters
• Tomato puree - 100 grams
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Garlic - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Using a spiralizer, make zucchini noodles from the two medium-sized zucchinis and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, garam masala, cumin powder, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomato puree and heavy cream, mixing well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the butter chicken sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
