Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 medium, spiralized zucchini
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, and cook until they start to soften and release their juices, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the tomato sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, gently mixing it with the zucchini noodles and tomato sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the grated parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving and enjoy your keto-friendly chicken tomato pasta.
