Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Grilled Chicken
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 1 medium zucchini (about 200g) |
2 | 150g chicken breast |
3 | 2 tablespoons homemade or store-bought basil pesto (ensure it's soy-free) |
4 | 1 tablespoon olive oil |
5 | Salt and pepper to taste |
6 | Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving) |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create noodles from the zucchini. If you use a peeler, aim for thin strips. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Sauté the Zucchini Noodles: In the same skillet, add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook them; they should still have some crunch.
Combine with Pesto: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil pesto with the zucchini noodles until well coated.
Serve: Plate the zucchini noodles topped with the sliced grilled chicken. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, add some cherry tomatoes or pine nuts to the zucchini noodles while sautéing.
You can also grill the chicken on an outdoor grill for a nice smoky flavor!
