Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 ½ lb skinless chicken thigh fillets cut into strips
- 4 oz fresh semi-dried tomato strips in oil chopped *See Notes
- 3.5 oz jarred sun dried tomatoes in oil chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 1 ¼ cup thickened cream reduced fat or full fat (or half and half)
- 1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes adjust to taste
- 2 large Zucchini made into zoodles or summer squash, use a vegetable grater if you don't have a Zoodle grater
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a pan/skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle with salt. Pan fry until the chicken is golden browned on all sides and cooked through.
- Add both semi-dried and sun dried tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil from the jar (optional but adds extra flavour), and add the garlic; sauté until fragrant. (While the chicken is browning, prepare your Zoodles with a Zoodle maker OR with a normal vegetable peeler.)
- Lower heat, add the cream and the Parmesan cheese; simmer while stirring until the cheese has melted through. Sprinkle over salt, basil and red chilli flakes to your taste.
- Stir through the Zoodles and continue to simmer until the zoodles have softened to your liking (about 5-8 minutes) and serve.

Notes
- *If you can't find semi-dried tomato strips (usually found in a deli), sub with extra jarred sun-dried tomatoes
