1
Prepare the Pesto Sauce
In a food processor, combine fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt, and black pepper. Blend until finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
2
Cook the Zucchini Noodles
Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles. Set aside.
3
Grill the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4
Sauté the Mushrooms and Combine
In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown. Add the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and toss with the pesto sauce until well combined.
5
Serve
Plate the zucchini noodles topped with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
