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 Chicken Alfredo 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.

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.

My son Marc won’t eat zoodles though. Most of you think my kids eat the healthiest stuff which isn’t the case at all. I make a side of spaghetti for him when I make anything that involves zucchini like this Chicken Alfredo Zoodles Recipe.
