Creamy Lemon Zoodles with Chicken

 

     This one was to test out my new zoodler, which I really, really, like and to use up some cottage cheese I had on hand. I really didn't want this one to taste like Alfredo so I went with a light lemon sauce and it was more like a zucchini salad than a cooked pasta. 

Lemon Cheese Zoodles

1 chicken breast, butterflied 

2 Tbsp. butter

1 tsp. All-purpose seasoning 

1 zucchini, run through a zoodler

1/2 c. cottage cheese

1/4 c. lemon juice

2 green onions, white parts only

black pepper

2 Tbsp. heavy cream

1/4 tsp. granulated garlic

Salt to taste

Asiago cheese

Place the cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, onions, black pepper, heavy cream, and garlic in the blender and process until smooth. Set aside

Heat the butter in a skillet. Season both sides of the chicken with all-purpose seasoning and sear in the butter. Remove from the skillet and while hot deglaze the pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Remove from the heat and add the cottage cheese mixture. 

Place the zoodles in a bowl and top immediately with the warm cheese mixture. Top with sliced chicken and asiago cheese. 

Enjoy!
