Keto Cacio E Pepe Chicken And Zoodles
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Spiralize your zucchini until you reach the weight listed in the ingredients. Spread the zoodles out on a seasoned sheet tray and bake in the oven for 17 minutes. When done baking, sprinkle the salt and pepper over the zoodles and set aside for later.
Step 2
While the zoodles are baking, prepare 4-oz chicken breasts by seasoning them with the salt, pepper, italian seasoning, red pepper, and onion powder.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until both sides are golden brown.
Step 4
When you flip the chicken over while cooking, sprinkle about 2 tsp of parmesan over the top of each breast so it melts during the remaining cooking time.
Step 5
Toss your zoodles together and arrange on serving dishes each with a cooked chicken breast. Return your pan to the stove and melt the butter in the pan to deglaze it over low heat. Stir in the pepper and remaining parmesan into the hot butter. The cheese will melt and may clump together a little – don’t worry as this isn’t a cream-based sauce.
Step 6
Pour your hot parmesan butter sauce over your chicken and zoodles to finish the plating. At your discretion, you may even garnish with additional parmesan cheese.
