Avocado Courgette Alfredo with Grilled Chicken

I just HAD to share this recipe with you guys. It's just one of the delicious recipes from my Nutritional Mindset Makeover program and it was a total hit with me and my husband!

I always felt that courgettes were a bit of a funny texture and didn't taste of anything. Well, I can tell you that this recipe totally blew that notion away!

Wanna know what the feedback from the hubster was?

"FU@K*NG LOVELY!!!"
He even said he'd order it in a restaurant!

We're onto a winner here you guys....

In the words of Roger... "COURGETTE MOREGETTE!"
Check out the recipe below. It's a great way to get more veggies into your day!

Avocado Courgette Alfredo with Grilled Chicken (Serves 2)

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 medium ripe avocado, mashed
1/4 cup reduced fat (2%) plain Greek yoghurt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper (divided use)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (divided use)

1/4 tsp onion powder (or onion granules)
4 medium courgettes, spiralised (or cut into thin strips using a vegetable peeler)

2 chicken breasts, butterflied

Seasoning for chicken (as preferred - I use combinations of onion granules, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika - whatever I fancy that day!)

2 tsp grated parmesan
Oil spray


DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine avocado, yoghurt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder/granules in a medium bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
2. Spay chicken with a small about of oil and sprinkle over your favourite seasonings to taste. Rub the seasoning and oil onto the chicken to coat the surface.
3. Heat a large non-stick griddle or frying pan, over a medium/high heat.
4. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the pan, place on a plate and loosely cover with foil. Allow to rest.
6. Add courgette to pan and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
7. Add avocado mixture. Cook, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until mixture is heated through.
8. Divide courgette mixture evenly between two plates. Top with the grilled chicken and some parmesan.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
