Ingredients

  • Chicken breast: 2 pieces approx. 500 grams
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Garlic cloves minced: 2
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Eggs: 2 beaten
  • Parmesan cheese grated: 1 cup (100 grams)
  • Fresh parsley chopped: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • Zucchini noodles zoodles: 2 cups (500 ml)
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black pepper: to taste
  • Time: Preparation – 15 minutes; Cooking – 20 minutes

Instructions

  • Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Ensure it’s coated evenly.
  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the chicken breast, searing it until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes each side).
  • Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until aromatic (about 1 minute).
  • Reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and beaten eggs, ensuring a smooth mixture.
  • Add the grated parmesan cheese to the skillet, mixing well.
  • Once the chicken is cooled, slice it into bite-sized pieces and toss it into the skillet.
  • Add the zoodles, ensuring they get coated with the creamy sauce.
  • Let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the zoodles are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper if required, then garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Ensure you don’t overcook the zoodles; they can become mushy.
Feel free to add some chili flakes if you’re looking for a little kick!
Using freshly grated parmesan is key for the best Low Carb Chicken Carbonara experience.
Always let the chicken rest before slicing; this keeps it juicy.
