A few of you have been asking for a healthier cream in those Creamy Sun Dried Tomato + Parmesan Chicken Zoodles. With avocado being all the rage right now for Paleo, LCHF followers, and basically everyone on a health kick, I had to try that substitution for these!
If you prefer to watch how to make it, here is the video on my YouTube channel…
It all starts with a zoodle maker. I use this Veggetti, but you can use an Inspirilizer or even a Julienne Peeler!
Replacing heavy cream from traditional alfredo with avocados, you’re guaranteed a beautiful thick and smooth sauce. Add in the typical freshly grated parmesan cheese, almond or skim milk and a hint of lemon juice to prevent sauce from browning; it is completely optional but adds a nice kick of flavour. PLUS! Adding in the reserved oil from your sun dried tomatoes adds amazing extra flavour!
Process in a food processor for two minutes!
And you’ll end up with the best sauce you’ve ever tried with avocado.
Once your chicken and sun dried tomatoes are mixed together, and the sun dried tomatoes begin to release their beautiful rustic flavours, add in your zoodles and cook for a further 3-5 minutes, until they just begin to soften. Don’t leave them sitting in the hot pan for any longer than that, or the zucchini will begin to release an abundance of water.
Pour in your ‘alfredo’ sauce and prepare to be amazed!
Creamy, light, healthy, and incredible.
You could drizzle this sauce over pasta for an ultra indulgent dinner!

Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini , spiralized

Instructions

Add sun dried tomatoes and fry together with the chicken until chicken is browned. Add the zoodles; mix through chicken and tomatoes; and allow to cook through for 3-5 minutes, or until just beginning to soften (don't leave them too long or a lot of water will be released from the zucchini). Pour the avocado sauce over the top and stir through until warmed.
