Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 12 oz boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch thick cutlets and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mash 3 cloves garlic with 1/4 tsp sea salt to form a paste. Mix in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Rub the herb paste evenly over chicken cutlets, then place on a baking sheet. Roast for 18-20 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  4. Step 4: While chicken cooks, spiralize 3 medium zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  5. Step 5: Sauté zucchini noodles in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring frequently until edges brown slightly.
