Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices, season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned, then add spiralized zucchini and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until zucchini is tender but still holds shape (do not overcook).
  3. Step 3: Return chicken to skillet, add chopped basil, and toss for 1 minute until heated through and fragrant. Serve immediately while zucchini is still crisp.
