I just love my KitchenAid spiralizer attachment. It's been super busy in my kitchen! If you don't have the attachment, there are other ways to spiralize, including using a vegetable peeler. This zucchini noodles with chicken and tomatoes in a lemon garlic sauce recipe was inspired by leftovers. Before serving, top the dish with your favorite chopped fresh herbs! I love roasting two chickens at once, serving them for dinner one night, and cutting up the leftovers for several different meals. I freeze what I won't use in the next two days. I also keep a little packed away for Jake, my doggie.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 large zucchini, ends trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 12 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 cups baby spinach

  • ½ cooked chicken breast, chopped

  • ½ cup frozen peas

  • 2 lemons, juiced

  • 1 lemon, zested

Directions

  1. Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer; set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes; cook until starting to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add zucchini noodles; season with salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper and stir to distribute. Add spinach, chicken, peas, lemon juice, and lemon zest; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If your zucchini noodles are really long, cut them in half before cooking to make them easier to eat.
