Creamy Zucchini Chicken & Skinny Noodles
Trying to cut carbs but missing pasta?
Then this recipe is for you! As much as I love carbs, I definitely take them in moderation, so when missing a classic dish using a low carb noodle alternative is magic! I use this brand called skinny noodles, and they are great! Also, you could do spaghetti squash if you wanted to as a noodle replacement for this dish as well.
