LEMON-BASIL CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Spread 1/4 cup flour on a large plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, then add the chicken and cook until golden and almost cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Push the chicken to the edges of the skillet, add the shallot and basil stems to the middle and cook until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, until cooked through and the sauce is thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and swirl in 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in half the torn basil. Divide among plates and top with the chicken, lemon sauce, remaining basil and red pepper flakes.

LEMON CHICKEN & ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Use a spiralizer to create the zucchini noodles, peel the green skin, and then zoodle them. Do not salt them, just let them sit on a paper towel.
• Dice up the chicken if you already haven't, you want 1-2 inch pieces. Toss the salt and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper in the chicken and mix around.
• Heat a cast iron skillet on medium low, splash some olive oil in the pan, start cooking the chicken.
• Cook the chicken, stirring to brown on all sides, when it is close to being almost cooked through (about 8-10 minutes) add the 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and scrape the bottoms. You are deglazing the pan, and creating a "sticky" chicken.
• Right before the chicken is done, add the lemon juice, and the garlic and stir reducing for a few more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Check the chicken by pressing a piece down in the middle. It should be firm and spring back.
• Chicken should be sticky, and glazed. Remove the chicken, set aside. Clean the pan, and toss the zucchini in the pan to saute for a couple minutes (just a splash of olive oil), you want them to retain their freshness and not be soggy!
• Combine noodles, goat cheese, and a portion of chicken for each individual plate or all in one bowl. You can add a little more seasoning using more salt and pepper at the end. Splash the dish with additional olive oil. Toss in basil leaves and red pepper flakes!

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN ZOODLES RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Using a spiralizer create zucchini spaghetti (always read the directions as they vary by brand - I use this spiralizer.) If you don't have a spiralizer use a regular vegetable peeler to vertically peel long, thin strips of the zucchini. This will form more of a wider "noodle" from the zucchini, like fettuccini. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add zucchini noodles and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until zucchini noodles are tender but still retain some crunch. Let the noodles rest for about 3 minutes so that they can release all of the moisture. Transfer noodles to a colander and drain the excess water from the pan. Wipe the pan and heat one tablespoon of olive oil, when sizzling, add chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and parsley, lower to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until tomatoes start to break down and release some of their juice. In the meantime in a small bowl combine lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add zoodles to the pan alongside the lemon juice mixture. Stir until everything is combined and heated through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using) and serve!
