In a small bowl, whisk half the olive oil with the dried basil, garlic powder, half the salt, and half the black pepper. Coat the chicken breast evenly in the marinade and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, flip, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes more until the center is opaque. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat with the remaining olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in the zucchini noodles, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips. Place the zucchini noodles on a plate and top with the sliced chicken and any pan juices.
