Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté chopped red onion for 2 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, breaking them down with a spoon until they release juices and form a sauce.
Step 4: Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until zucchini is tender but still holds its shape (do not overcook).
Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, add chopped basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss to coat and heat through for 1 minute. Serve immediately.
