INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

0.75 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp fresh parsley

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much moisture as possible.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Heat 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.

• 6

  In the same skillet, add the remaining 0.25 tbsp of olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 7

  Add the squeezed grated zucchini to the pan, tossing frequently for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still vibrant.

• 8

  Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, then remove the pan from the heat.

• 9

  Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve atop the bed of zucchini, finishing with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
