Ingredients:⠀
1 1/2 lb skinless chicken thigh fillets , cut into strips⠀
4oz fresh semi-dried tomato strips in oil , chopped⠀
3.5oz jarred sun dried tomatoes in oil , chopped⠀
4 cloves garlic , peeled and crushed⠀
1 1/4 cup thickened cream , reduced fat or full fat (or half and half)⠀

Instructions:⠀
Heat 1 tbsp 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.
