Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan, over medium-high heat.
- When the butter starts to bubble, add the garlic powder and chicken to the pan. Sauté for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the cream and pesto. Simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring together until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
- Add the zucchini noodles and tomatoes. Toss to combine, and let simmer for about 2 minutes, just until the zucchini noodles become slightly tender, but still have some crispness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

You can adjust the meals according to your preference! That's fine.
Sounds great! I'm sure you will love it with the zoodles, too!
Coconut cream should be fine, but will change the flavor just a bit.
You can substitute chicken breast for the thighs.
The zoodles may become soggy or mushy but other than that, it should freeze well.
