Gluten-Free Chicken & Broccoli "Fettuccine"

Gluten-Free Chicken & Broccoli "Fettuccine"

Forget what you know about fettuccine night.
This gut-healing, candida-safe remix ditches the wheat, the sugar, and the drama — but keeps the satisfaction of silky "noodles," juicy chicken, and tender broccoli all swimming in a cozy, savoury sauce.
And yes, you’re going to spiral your own zucchini like the kitchen wizard you are. 🪄

Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Serves: 2–3

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium organic zucchinis, spiralized into noodles (aka zoodles)

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 kg organic, pasture-raised chicken breast, diced

  • 7 cups organic broccoli florets

  • 2 tablespoons organic ginger, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

  • 2 cloves organic garlic, minced (plus extra garlic powder to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 100g organic liquid bone broth (unsweetened, clean label)

Quick Tip: How to Make Zoodles at Home

No pasta maker, no worries. Just spiralize fresh zucchini, pat dry with a paper towel to remove extra moisture, and lightly sauté for the perfect grain-free fettuccine swap.
No carbs. No regrets.

  1. Make Your Zoodles Like a Boss:
    Rinse zucchinis, chop off the ends, and run them through a spiralizer (or julienne peeler if you're old-school). Lay the zoodles between paper towels and gently blot them to remove extra water — trust us, you don't want soggy noodles.

    2. Start the Sauce Party:
    Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add broccoli, minced ginger, Himalayan salt, garlic, oregano, and basil. Stir, then cover with a lid and let it steam-cook for 5 minutes until broccoli softens but still flexes a little bite.

    3. Chicken Time:
    Push the veggies aside and add the diced chicken. Crank the heat to medium-high and sauté, flipping occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and golden — about 5–7 minutes.

    4. Broth Boost:
    In a small saucepan, heat the bone broth gently with extra garlic and oregano. Let it simmer just enough to thicken slightly (no tapioca flour needed — we’re keeping it real). Pour the broth over the chicken and broccoli, tossing everything together in savoury glory.

    5. Assemble Like a Legend:
    Lightly sauté the zoodles in 1 tablespoon avocado oil for 30–60 seconds max — just until warmed through. Plate the zoodles and pile the chicken-broccoli mix on top.

    6. Serve hot with an optional sprinkle of extra pink salt, fresh parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil for bonus points.

Shortcut Tip:

Pressed for time?
You can buy fresh, ready-made zucchini noodles (zoodles) from most supermarkets or organic grocers.
Just check the label — choose organic if possible and avoid anything with additives like citric acid or preservatives.
