Healthy Chicken Zoodles with Roasted Tomatoes

This dish combines juicy chicken breast with roasted tomatoes and zucchini noodles, creating a delicious and low-carb meal. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Tomatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Combine Zoodles: Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the chicken and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the zoodles are tender but still crisp.
Add Roasted Tomatoes: Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for another minute to heat through.
Serve: Plate the chicken and zoodles, garnishing with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your healthy meal!
