Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.

Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the tomato sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender.
