INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
2 tbsp Cashew Cream
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, spiralize the zucchini to create noodles. Optionally, give them a quick sauté in a pan with a dash of olive oil for 2 minutes to soften them slightly, but keeping a crisp bite.
In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto and cashew cream until well blended to create a creamy sauce.
Toss the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes in the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the zucchini noodles and top with sliced chicken breast. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the chicken for extra flavor.
Serve immediately, enjoying the rich, smoky chicken paired with the fresh, vibrant flavors of creamy pesto and crisp vegetables.
