INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 700 g (1 1/2 lb) skinless chicken thigh fillets , cut into strips
• 120 g (4oz) fresh semi-dried tomato strips in oil , chopped *See Notes
• 100 g (3.5oz) jarred sun dried tomatoes in oil , chopped
• 4 cloves garlic , peeled and crushed
• 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) thickened cream , reduced fat or full fat (or half and half)
• 1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
• Salt to taste
• Dried basil seasoning
• Red chilli flakes
• 2 large Zucchini (or summer squash), made into Zoodles (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.
