Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken, deboned and shredded
  • 5-6 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • ½ bunch Lacinato kale, stems removed and rough chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
  • zucchini noodles from approximately 10 medium zucchini
  • kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat renders.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until softened.
  • Add the kale, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth. Simmer until the kale is wilted.
  • Add heavy cream, parmesan, and shredded chicken.
  • Simmer until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, then toss with the zucchini noodles.

Notes

Tips:
-Use any kind of noodle you like. The sauce is magic. Regular pasta would work, spaghetti squash would be perfect. Whatever you like!
-Spinach could easily be subbed for the kale.
-Don't forget a few red pepper flakes to give it a little zing!
