ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND TOMATOES IN A LEMON GARLIC SAUCE



Zucchini Noodles with Chicken and Tomatoes in a Lemon Garlic Sauce image

I am just loving my spiralizer attachment from KitchenAid®, and it's been super busy in my kitchen! If you don't have the attachment, there are other ways to spiralize, including using a vegetable peeler. This recipe was inspired by leftovers. Before serving, top this dish with your favorite chopped fresh herbs! I love roasting 2 chickens at once and serving them for dinner one night, then cutting the rest up and using for several different meals. I freeze what I won't use in the next 2 days. I also keep a little packed away for Jake! Love my doggie...

SAUTEED CHICKEN, ZUCCHINI, ARTICHOKES AND TOMATOES OVER PASTA



Sauteed Chicken, Zucchini, Artichokes and Tomatoes over Pasta image

This is a relatively simple dish to make and incredibly flavorful. My family and I eat a good deal of pasta, so I'm always looking for new ways of preparing it. I thought up this recipe while having a craving for marinated artichokes.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb chicken, cut into bite size chunks
5 minced garlic cloves
2 small zucchini, cut into chunks (about the same size as the chicken)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained (or you can use a couple of fresh, chopped and seeded)
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • In large skillet, heat one TBSP of olive oil over medium-high heat till pan is HOT.
  • Add chicken. While it's searing, sprinkle the chicken with oregano, salt and pepper.
  • When chicken is browned on all sides, remove it from the pan and add another TBSP of olive oil. When oil is heated, saute the zucchini until soft and lightly browned. Remove from pan.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the garlic. When the garlic becomes fragrant, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Let this reduce by half.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan. Cook until chicken is almost completely cooked, then add the zucchini and artichokes and tomatoes. Heat through.
  • Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Serve over spaghetti with plenty of parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles for a healthier alternative to pasta.
  • Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, to add brightness and flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken and vegetables. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the zucchini noodles to the pan last and cook them just until they are tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve the dish immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Zucchini noodles with chicken and tomatoes in a lemon-garlic sauce is a light, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The zucchini noodles provide a healthy dose of vegetables, while the chicken and tomatoes add protein and flavor.
