Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 medium zucchini
• 2 pieces medium tomatoes, chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles ('zoodles').

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down.

Step 6

Slice the cooked chicken breasts and return them to the skillet, stirring to combine with the tomatoes. Adjust seasoning with remaining salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Gently fold in the zucchini noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are tender and coated with the tomato mixture, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped basil and remove the skillet from heat.

Step 9

Divide the pasta among four plates, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
