Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by dissolving some kosher salt in boiling water, then add cold water and toss in the chicken strips. Let them chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour. When they're ready, drain and pat the chicken dry before cooking.

Step 2

Next, use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, then cut those into fettuccine-sized strips. Toss the zucchini noodles with a good sprinkling of salt and let them sit for half an hour to soften up.

Step 3

Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until they’re nicely browned and cooked through—it should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, crank the heat to high and melt some butter. Crush the garlic right into the skillet for extra flavor, then pour in the cream and bring it to a gentle boil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir in the Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of pepper.

Step 5

Toss the zucchini noodles into the sauce and cook for a minute or two, just until they’re warmed through but still have a bit of bite. Then, add the chicken back in and give everything a good toss to coat it all in that delicious sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Finish by garnishing with some fresh tomatoes for a pop of color and flavor.
