Zoodles

Grilled Chicken

Method

Zoodles Preparation

  1. 1

    Spiralize Zucchini

    Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchini into noodle shapes. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté Zoodles

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still al dente. Remove from heat and set aside.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Grilled Chicken Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 6

    Grill Chicken

    Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Plate the sautéed zoodles, top with a generous amount of marinara sauce, and add sliced grilled chicken on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
