Creamy Chicken and Zucchini Pasta

While I did eat processed carbs now and then (mimosas, anyone? Lasagna? Pizza? I can't always say no...), I find that it's pretty easy to avoid them by making substitutions for things in recipes, like this Low Carb Creamy Chicken & Zucchini Pasta Recipe.

I am always looking for ways to cut out processed foods and carbs in my every day diet...while I want to stay thin, I actually hate exercise and will basically do anything to avoid getting on my elliptical machine...

Or god forbid, actually signing up for a gym membership and THEN ACTUALLY GOING TO THE GYM.

Low Carb Creamy Chicken Zucchini Pasta Recipe

I've been following the low carb lifestyle off and on for over a decade now, and I have to tell you, it is not that difficult to follow!

I lost about 30 pounds by doing a low carb diet plan, even with cheating now and then.

Why I love this Creamy Chicken Zucchini Pasta

I recently gained quite a bit of weight due to traveling a lot, developing a taste for craft beer, and well...being unmotivated! I am now at the point where I am making myself get back into a full low carb lifestyle, as I am not drinking much alcohol anymore due to health reasons.

That was the majority of my carb intake for the past two years, so it only makes sense that I just embrace it 100% again and lose this pesky 10 pounds that I gained between 2017-2018. Goodbye, little belly! Goodbye, muffin tops...

Yes, that pun was intentional. 

Now, don't allow the title of this recipe post mislead you, there isn't actually ANY PASTA at all in this Creamy Chicken & Zucchini Pasta Recipe!

The zucchini replaces the pasta, so that you are not only avoiding all of those processed carbohydrates, but you're also getting more veggies into your meal, which is perfect for the kids too!

This Zucchini Chicken Pasta Recipe is so Healthy!

This is really like a veggie pasta with a bit of chicken and cheese thrown in, it is full of healthy goodness that is perfect for the entire family!

Using spiralized zucchini is a really fantastic way to sneak some additional veggies into any meal, as when you spiralize zucchini, it can take the form of pasta or can even just be mixed in with other ingredients.

Zucchini doesn't have an overpowering, strong flavor, and it is packed with Vitamin C and even has fiber, and Vitamin B6.
