Ingredients:
- 2 Zucchini (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 & 1/2 tsp. Himalayan Salt
- 2TB Melted Coconut Oil (refined or unrefined) or butter
- 1 Chicken Breast (cooked and diced)
- 1 Cup of Cherry Tomatoes (cut into halves) ~ omit for keto
- 1/2 tsp. Pepper
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 & 1/2 tsp. Dried Basil
- 2 Garlic Cloves (diced)
- 1/4 Cup of Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Cup of Greek Yogurt or use full-fat sour cream for keto
- 1/2 Cup of Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Optional 1/4 cup of Feta Cheese for garnish
Directions:
- Turn the zucchini into noodles with a Spiralizer.
- Place in a bowl, add some salt let sit for approximately 20 minutes. (use paper towels to draw the rest of the moisture out.)
- Place 1TB of coconut oil in a large frying pan and heat to medium.
- Place the chicken breast, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the heated pan.
- Cook chicken fully.
- Add in zucchini noodles, 1 tsp. of dried basil, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Toss together then set aside in a bowl.
- Heat the rest of the coconut oil in the skillet and toss in the diced garlic.
- Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds) and add in the chicken broth. (This step is very important as you need to cool the pan so the greek yogurt doesn’t curdle).
- Reduce heat to low.
- Once the pan is cool enough add the greek yogurt, parmesan, and the rest of the basil. Mix it up until it’s fully combined.
- Place everything in the pan and toss together.
- Remove from heat and serve. (Add optional feta cheese for garnish)
- Enjoy!
