Serving size
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup cilantro – packed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup green onion bulbs – diced
- 3 cloves garlic – minced
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast – cut into 1½ inch chunks
- 2 zucchini – spiralized
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- For garnish – cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and avocado (maintenace)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. First, make the sauce by placing cilantro, oil (aside from one table spoon), lime juice, sea salt in a blender and blend until thoroughly combined. Set it aside.
Step 2
On medium heat, put remaining tablespoon of oil in the bottom of an ovenproof skillet with onion bulbs and garlic, cook until fragrant.
Step 3
Turn the heat to high and add the chicken in the pan and spread out so that the chicken is in a thin layer.
Step 4
Let cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, so the bottom of the chicken browns. Give a good stirring and place in the oven. Cook for 12 minutes or until cooked throughout.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, place the zoodles in a mixing bowl and toss with the dressing. Set aside.
Step 6
Once the chicken is finished cooking, let cool off for a few minutes. Add with the vegetables and dressing.
Step 7
Garnish and serve.
Step 8
Enjoy!
