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

Method
 

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Ensure it’s coated evenly.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the chicken breast, searing it until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes each side).
  4. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until aromatic (about 1 minute).
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and beaten eggs, ensuring a smooth mixture.
  7. Add the grated parmesan cheese to the skillet, mixing well.
  8. Once the chicken is cooled, slice it into bite-sized pieces and toss it into the skillet.
  9. Add the zoodles, ensuring they get coated with the creamy sauce.
  10. Let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the zoodles are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  11. 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.
