Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tsp olive oil (divided into 1 tsp and 1/2 tsp)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 zucchini, spiralized (I use this fun tool to quickly get the job done)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (I love Rao’s Marinara)
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tsp olive oil in skillet over medium heat
- Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika over chicken breasts and place in skillet
- Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, making sure the center is thoroughly cooked
- When chicken is almost done, heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in separate skillet over medium heat and add spiralized zucchini
- Cook zucchini for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally (Tip - make sure not to over cook the zucchini or it will soften and release all of its water. You just want to warm it up in the skillet)
- Remove zoodles from heat and strain any excess water or pat dry with a paper towel
- In a pot, heat marinara sauce over low heat until warm (approx. 1 1/2 minutes), stirring continuously
- Place zucchini noodles on plates, spoon half the marina sauce on top of each plate of zoodles, and top with chicken breast (sprinkle with nutritional yeast if desired)
