ہدایات
1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about a minute until it becomes fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
3. Combine and Serve: Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, just until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
