Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 whole lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the 2 cups cauliflower florets and 1 cup cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until tender and lightly charred, about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While vegetables roast, spiralize the 2 medium zucchini into noodles. Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through (no pink inside), about 6 minutes per side. Let rest 2 minutes, then slice.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the zucchini noodles and cook, tossing, until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Divide zucchini noodles between bowls, top with sliced chicken, roasted vegetables, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze the lime wedge over each bowl before serving.
