• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and let them cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are tender but still hold their shape.
