Chicken and Zoodles

I know it is after the holidays and most people are slowing down a bit. My reality is a little different , my kids schedule keeps us busy. My oldest son wrestles and his busiest time is January and February. We are seriously out of town every weekend in January and part of February for wrestling tournaments. My youngest son plays basketball , so a few days a week we have that also. I welcome any time savers in my life and I found it with these premade zucchini spirals. I have used them several times in low carb dishes for my husband and we all love them  . They are perfect in this Chicken and Zoodles dish , but if you can’t find them just make your own the traditional way.

Eating low carb doesn’t mean low flavor . This dish is full of flavor and texture. The zucchini spirals really make you feel like you have pasta and soak up all the flavors. This is seriously so good and easy . This is one of those dishes I make and package up for meals for several days to keep on track

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and gather your  items . Go ahead and prep your bell pepper , broccoli, and mushrooms.

Melt butter in a large skillet . Lightly salt and pepper chicken thighs and brown them on each side .

While the chicken is browning prepare a 9×13 baking dish . Place the Zoodles in the bottom and half of the large chopped red bell pepper on top of that

Place browned chicken on top of the Zoodles and put broccoli around the chicken

In the same skillet as you browned the chicken melt a little more butter and start cooking the diced mushrooms and remaining diced bell pepper

Once the vegetables are cooked a little add chicken broth.

Add salt , pepper , onion powder , garlic powder and red pepper flakes and bring up to a slight boil

Add cream and bring back to a slight boil

Add pepper jack cheese

Stir until melted

Poor over the chicken and Zoodles

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes . Let it sit for 10 minutes uncovered before serving

ENJOY!!
