INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast (~142g)
2 cups Zucchini Noodles (~200g)
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto (~30g)
2 tablespoons Half & Half (~30g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (~5g)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season it lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the basil pesto and half & half. Stir them together over medium heat until combined into a creamy sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss with the pesto cream sauce. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are just tender but still retain slight firmness.
Slice the chicken into strips and place atop the zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
