Do you love pasta, but want something a bit more nutritionally sound?  This recipe is low on calories and carbs, but high on flavor and vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 1 Chicken Thigh per Person
• 10 Cloves Garlic
• ½ Cup Olive Oil
• 1 Medium Zucchini per Person (or 4 Small Zucchini)
• Salt, Pepper, and Chili Powder to Taste
• Generous Amount of Parmesan Cheese
• Small Handful Flat-leaf Parsley

Instructions:

1. Either bake or pan-fry chicken until mostly cooked, then cut into pieces.
2. Peel and mince garlic. Brown in pan with chicken over medium low heat.  Keep warm until ready to be used.
3. Spiralize zucchini. If you do not have a spiralizer, you may cut zucchini into thin strips instead.
4. Cook zucchini in a dash of olive oil with salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. For firmer zoodles, cook in a thin layer for only 2 minutes or less.  For softer, more pasta-like zoodles, more zoodles may be cooked at once for more time until soft throughout.
5. When zoodles are cooked, place in bowl and mix with chicken-olive oil sauce, parmesan, and parsley.
