These Healthy Chicken Zoodle Alfredo Cups combine tender chicken, fresh zucchini noodles, and a creamy Greek yogurt Alfredo sauce for a light yet indulgent comfort food. Perfect for quick dinners, potlucks, or family meals, they are easy to make and naturally gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Extra Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease muffin tin or line with silicone cups.
  2. Spiralize 4 medium zucchinis. Place zoodles in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to release moisture. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shredded cooked chicken, season with salt and pepper, and warm through for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, milk, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Add more milk if sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, gently mix the squeezed-dry zoodles, sautéed chicken, and creamy Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full and pressing lightly to shape nests.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until tops are lightly golden and cups hold their shape.
  8. Let cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze the zoodles well to avoid soggy cups. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer sauce. Start checking cups at 18 minutes to avoid drying out. These cups can be assembled ahead and reheated in the oven for 10 minutes. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and Parmesan with vegan alternatives.
