Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Cream Sauce

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Cream Sauce
Ingredients:

1 large zucchini
4 ounces roasted boneless, skinless chicken breast, warmed before plating

Avocado Cream Sauce:
1/4 avocado
1 cup arugula
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:
Slice the zucchini very thinly lengthwise. Then cut each piece into thirds lengthwise to resemble
thick noodles.
Steam the “noodles” for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are just cooked through.
Meanwhile, blend the avocado, arugula, basil, broth, lemon juice, garlic, and parmesan in a food processor or blender.

Toss the “noodles” with the sauce and the cubed chicken and serve.
