- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thin strips. Set aside until needed.
- Add a bit of olive oil to the same frying pan and heat up over medium heat.Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.Add the milk (cream) and cream cheese. Cook, stirring often until cream cheese has melted and fully incorporated into the sauce. Lower the heat to low.Add Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the chicken strips, zoodles and parsley. Give it a good stir through and serve immediately.
- Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
