Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- Sea salt + pepper to taste
- 1 cup crimini mushrooms
- 2 vine tomatoes quartered
- 1 cup zucchini chunks
- 2 cups zucchini noodles
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry chicken with paper towels. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and transfer the chicken breasts to a large plate.
- Season the chicken with sea salt, pepper, oregano and fresh pressed garlic (or minced) on both sides. Cover the chicken in a thin layer of flour.
- In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add in chicken and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Toss in mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini chunks, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté for 2-3 minutes then add in the zucchini noodles. The zucchini will release moisture which will turn into a delicious sauce on the bottom of the pan. Feel free to add more salt and ground pepper at this point.
- Form four pockets between the veggies and zoodles and place chicken back in the pan. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Turn stove off and serve.
