Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis (zoodles)

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (preferably buffalo-flavored)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles:

    - Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create zoodles (zucchini noodles) from the zucchinis. Set them aside.

      Preheat the Oven:

        - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

          Cook the Alfredo Sauce:

            - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes.

              - Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

                Combine Chicken and Sauce:

                  - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the Alfredo sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

                    Form Zoodle Nests:

                      - On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, take a handful of zoodles and form them into small nests (about the size of a cupcake). Ensure there’s a small well in the center to hold the buffalo chicken mixture.

                        Fill the Nests:

                          - Spoon the buffalo chicken Alfredo mixture into the wells of your zoodle nests, filling them generously.

                            Bake:

                              - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender and the chicken mixture is warmed through.

                                Garnish and Serve:

                                  - Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese, if desired.

                                    Enjoy:

                                      - Serve warm, and watch your guests delight in this delicious and creative twist on buffalo chicken and alfredo!
