INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
2 tbsp Pesto
2 tbsp Light Cream
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create zucchini noodles. Set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the pesto and light cream, mixing thoroughly with the zucchini noodles to create a creamy sauce.
Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet along with the cherry tomatoes, gently tossing everything together until well combined and heated through.
Plate the dish and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the creamy pesto chicken with zucchini noodles.
