INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 medium Zucchini
1 ounce Raw Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by preparing your cashew pesto: in a blender, combine raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a small splash of water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles from the two medium zucchinis. Lightly set them aside in a colander to drain any excess moisture.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Once done, slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the prepared cashew pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the grilled chicken pieces and cherry tomatoes, ensuring all components are well mixed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors!
