This dish is perfect for a light yet satisfying dinner, balancing aromatic basil, savory Parmesan, and crunchy pine nuts with tender chicken and crisp zucchini.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Pine Nuts
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the zucchini noodles. Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create noodles from the zucchini and set aside.
In a food processor, combine fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to form a pesto sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Toss the zucchini noodles lightly with a little extra olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and plate over the bed of zucchini noodles.
Drizzle the basil pesto over the chicken and noodles.
Serve immediately and enjoy a fresh, light, and protein-packed meal.
