Low-Carb Creamy Bruschetta Chicken Recipe

One of my favorite things about summer is the promise of bright, red, sun-ripened garden tomatoes.  They taste much better than the grocery store, tasteless, winter tomatoes.

Bruschetta Chicken

After grabbing several ripe tomatoes from a farmers market, I needed a proper recipe to put them to good use.  What goes better with tomatoes than basil? Inspired by the tomatoes and basil, I created this Low-Carb Creamy Bruschetta Chicken Recipe. The creamy, rich basil sauce compliments the chicken and zucchini noodles PERFECTLY!

If you have never made zoodles or zucchini noodles, check out my blog post on how to make them here.  I use the Paderno World Cuisine A4982799 Tri-Blade Vegetable Spiral Slicer.

The winning topping is the fresh, vibrant, flavorful, uncooked tomatoes.

Everyone in my house loved this dish.  It is worthy of bragging.  Try it.  You will love it.  If you are on a low-carb diet, this dish is guiltless.  If you are not on a low-carb diet, I still recommend the zucchini noodles.  The sauce and the zucchini are a great combination of flavors. Enjoy!

*I always precut my zucchini noodles before cooking. It prevents stress not having to cut them in the middle of cooking my sauce.  You can also cut them the night before.  To learn more about zucchini noodles, check out my Spiralizer post here.
