Ingredients
  

  • 3 large zucchini
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 cups shredded leftover rotisserie chicken or 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • ¼ cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Spiralize zucchinis or julienne them lengthwise using a mandolin.
  • Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the zucchini noodles. Saute them for about 3 minutes until cooked but still slightly crunchy.
  • Transfer them to a colander to drain off the excess liquid.
  • Wipe off any moisture from the skillet and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat and add the shredded chicken. Saute until slightly brown.
  • Add the chopped onion, parsley, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until the tomatoes become soft.
  • In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, remaining tablespoon of oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Return the zoodles to the skillet and add the lemon juice/olive oil mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes and serve. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
