ZOODLES WITH CHICKEN FREE

What is the best chicken to use in this Garlic Butter Chicken with Zoodles? I love squeezing fresh lemon juice on my chicken just before serving. Lemon, like the fresh herbs, is one of those easy to add extra elements that really help a dish stand out. Parmesan isn’t a requirement but tastes pretty delicious mixed with some buttery zoodles. I’m a huge cheese lover, so naturally, I added some grated parmesan. They add an extra layer of flavor and really help dishes stand out. Fresh herbs are always a good idea if you have them. If you don’t have either, water will work. If you prefer not to open a container of chicken broth and you have some white wine open, that would make a great alternative (similar to shrimp scampi). So, you really only need a couple of tablespoons.

I added approximately 6 cloves of finely minced garlic and didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Although we added garlic powder to the chicken, it’s always important to get some fresh garlic in there. That equals approximately 1 tablespoon per person. 4 tablespoons may sound like a lot, but this recipe is intended to serve 4 people. If you prefer regular pasta noodles, go for it!

Some people may want more and others less, so the amount typically works out. I typically average approximately 1.5 medium zucchini per person. No need to go crazy here, just a little sprinkle.
