    You can adjust the meals according to your preference! That's fine.

    My zucchini was too old!! (I don't know how that happened.). However I made the same exact dish with cut broccoli and it was delicious. (I just cooked the broccoli a little longer than I would have done the zucchini.) My husband does not like broccoli, but in the sauce he actually ate it. I will be making it again with the Zoodles and also with broccoli, if anyone would like to try it that way. Thank you so much!! AND, especially thank you that you allow for serving sizes. I easily printed out the same recipe for the two of us.

    Sounds great! I'm sure you will love it with the zoodles, too!

    This was really fantastic! I used fresh garlic (2 cloves) instead of garlic powder, but followed the recipe to the letter otherwise. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

    Coconut cream should be fine, but will change the flavor just a bit.

    Does it have to be chicken thighs? Can I use chicken breasts?

    You can substitute chicken breast for the thighs.

    The zoodles may become soggy or mushy but other than that, it should freeze well.
