It released so much liquid, even though I used ALL my zoodle liquid removal tricks! The struggle with zoodles is so real! I salted and drained them a whole 24 hours before cooking and spun them in a salad spinner and they still released a bunch of water in the finished product. Then I transferred it all to a 9 x 13 casserole dish and popped it into a 350 degree pre-heated oven.īut not before adding some yummy shredded cheese! (Never forget the cheese… never…)Īnd the result smelled wonderful. I use ground chipotle pepper instead of cayenne pepper and a bit of smoked paprika. Since the zoodles had already been salted, I didn’t add any additional salt.Īnd since they are…well…zoodles…I omitted the milk in the recipe because the zoodles added enough liquid to do what it needed to do. I also made a few other modifications to the original recipe. I added my zoodles to a big bowl with diced green, orange and yellow peppers, chopped onions and sliced pimentos. So after you have cut your zoodles, sprinkled them with salt, and let them drain of some of the excess water (I recommend a few hours in the fridge for this) you’re gonna either cook up some chicken (I used chicken breast tenderloins that I diced) or this recipe is great for leftover rotisserie chicken.
The original recipe is pretty simple, but I did deviate a bit. But I am making that right…right here, right now! By the way, how cute is this dish on the new Livliga bariatric set? Now don’t ask me why I didn’t do this recipe for the book. In fact, I love them so much that I made an entire book of zoodle recipes! (#NotSoShamelessPlug) So that’s what I’ve been eating for years. And no need to suggest your favorite noodle, I’ve tried enough of them to accept that noodles just don’t work for me. You know the only place where there is no love for that casserole? In my pouch! Because my pouch hates noodles.
I’ve made it for work potlucks and they love it. OMG it is an institution! And I’ve made it for my family plenty of times and they love it. One of my FAVORITE recipes she’s ever done is her famous Chicken Spaghetti. That is…before the Y switched to the cheap affordable cable and we didn’t get the Food Network anymore. Ok so don’t laugh but…I would put on her show while on the elliptical at the Y so that I’d stay on for the whole time I was supposed to. Can I just tell you guys how much of a fan-girl I am of the Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond)?
