Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 large Zucchini
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bruschetta topping: In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes (halved), minced garlic, chopped fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Mix well and let it marinate while preparing the zucchini noodles.
Using a spiralizer, create zoodles (zucchini noodles) from the zucchini. Alternatively, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zoodles to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. If desired, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat.
Divide the sautéed zoodles into four serving bowls.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on top of the zoodles in each bowl.
Spoon the bruschetta mixture over the chicken, ensuring each bowl gets a generous amount of the topping.
Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Zoodle Bowls!
