Chicken Alfredo Zoodles
This Chicken Alfredo Zoodles Recipe is an easy way to eliminate poor food choices from your diet by replacing them with healthy options. This ensures you don’t feel like you’re missing out, or doing without, but that you’re simply making a healthier choice.
When making this low carb dinner recipe, keep in mind not to overcook the zoodles or they become quite soggy. Which is fine, but it will be a bit watery and not crunchy.
How to make low carb alfredo:
An excellent way to do this that’s very simple and easy, is by replacing pasta with zoodles. That’s what I did in my Chicken Alfredo Zoodles, and it’s delicious! It’s full of so many flavors and you don’t feel like you’re missing out on pasta!
If you don’t want to use zucchini, you can use other vegetables as well. I like using the zucchini because they’re savory and soak up the flavors of the sauce and seasonings to best reflect the dish it’s cooked in.
What do you eat with zoodles
Zoodles is very versatile. They can replace any pasta recipe to give you a low carb option for your favorite meal when you are looking to cut down on some carbs. Zoodles taste great with chicken, shrimp, and steaks. They pair well with any sauce you mix them in for a vegetarian option. Creamy or tomato-based sauce. A prime example is my chicken alfredo zoodles recipe to replace the classic chicken alfredo.
