Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis (for zoodles)

1 cup cooked shredded chicken

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Zoodles: Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zoodles from the zucchinis. Set them aside on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

      Make Alfredo Sauce: In a medium saucepan, add the cauliflower florets and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add almond milk, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.

          Assemble the Cups: Lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil. Using your hands, form small nests of zoodles in each muffin cup, creating a little well in the center.

            Add the Filling: Spoon a layer of the buffalo chicken mixture into each zoodle nest. Then, pour a generous amount of Alfredo sauce over each cup, making sure the sauce seeps into the zoodles.

              Top it Off: If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top for an extra cheesy layer.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender and the tops are golden and bubbly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

                    Enjoy: Carefully remove the zoodle cups from the muffin tin and serve warm as a tasty appetizer or a satisfying meal!
