A light and flavorful dish featuring grilled chicken marinated in Italian herbs, served over fresh zucchini noodles for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Method

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, dried Italian herbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 min.
3. Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 min on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. While the chicken is grilling, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
6. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 min until tender but still al dente. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the sliced grilled chicken over a bed of zucchini noodles, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
