Instructions

Step 1: Slice 12 oz boneless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick medallions. Pat dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 tsp sea salt and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F, then transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
Step 3: While chicken cooks, spiralize 2 medium zucchinis into noodles and thinly slice 1 medium red bell pepper. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes to the skillet with 2 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 cup water, stirring to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and glossy.
Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet, add 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute more until heated through and fragrant.
