Chicken with Zucchini Noodles and Vegetables

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast
• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 2 medium carrot
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Spiralize the 3 zucchini into noodles and set aside. Slice the 2 bell peppers and 2 carrots into thin strips, and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, the sliced peppers, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the zucchini noodles and cooked chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the zucchini is warmed through but still slightly crisp.

6. 6

   Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

7. 7

   Optional: add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra brightness.
