Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Step 5
While the broth is heating, use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles from the zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice them into long strips using a vegetable peeler or knife.
Step 6
Add the zucchini noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Stir occasionally.
Step 7
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them back to the skillet along with the baby spinach. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Step 8
Stir in the lemon juice and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing everything well.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
