This dish is carefully crafted for lean muscle support, combining high-quality protein with the refreshing taste of summer vegetables and a hint of olive oil richness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups spiralized Zucchini
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic cloves
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the chicken breast dry, then season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic (from 2 cloves), and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a marinade.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken breast in the pan, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and a golden sear forms.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
In the same pan, add the zucchini noodles for a brief sauté (about 2 minutes) just to warm them without losing their crunch.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it atop the zucchini noodles, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top to enhance flavor.
