Here’s a Keto-Friendly Garlic Butter Chicken with Zucchini Noodles recipe that’s packed with flavor, easy to make, and perfect for lunch!

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 medium-sized chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

• 2 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

• Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

• Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

• Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

• Add crushed red pepper flakes if you want a spicy kick.

3. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:

• Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with the sauce.

• Toss gently to coat the zucchini in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until tender (don’t overcook to avoid sogginess).

4. Combine and Serve:

• Slice the chicken and place it on top of the zucchini noodles.

• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh zing.
