Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 zucchini, cut into spirals using a spiral slicer
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
cooking spray
4 slices mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place zucchini spirals in a colander and sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and Italian seasoning over zucchini; toss to coat. Set colander over a bowl to allow water from zucchini to drain.
  • Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and place on a work surface; pound into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap and season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place zucchini in the same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil chicken in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer zucchini to each serving plate and add chicken. Spoon warm marinara over each piece of chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't come out crispy at all. It was more like rubbery.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would have preferred a simpler recipe with fewer steps.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used less salt in the marinara sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The chicken was a bit tough and the pasta was a bit mushy.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the zucchini pasta was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would marinate the chicken overnight to make it more moist.

The zucchini pasta was a nice touch. It added a light and refreshing element to the dish that helped to balance out the richness of the chicken and marinara sauce.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The chicken was a bit greasy and the pasta was a bit too rich. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the chicken had been grilled instead of fried.
