Do you have a Spiralizer yet? Why not? They’re awesome! They are great for making gluten-free alternatives for noodles. Have you tried sweet potato noodles? Yum! Or Zucchini noodles? They’re a great, healthy alternative to typical pasta noodles.
I love mine and vow to use it more often. This Spicy Chicken and “Zoodles” recipe is a result of that. It’s super easy and pretty darn good!
The most complicated part of this recipe is spiralizing the zucchini, which only takes a few minutes.
The spices on the chicken pair well with the zucchini noodles for a tasty, unique flavor. This is an easy recipe that can be prepared on a weeknight, or on a weekend when you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. This recipe is also Whole 30 compliant!
- 4 Tbsp ghee or grass-fed butter
- 2 chicken breasts butterflied and halved
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 4 medium zucchini peeled and spiralized
-
In a small bowl, mix the spices together. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken breasts.
-
Heat the butter over a skillet on medium to high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and there is no pink left. Remove the chicken and set aside.
-
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan. Saute for 5 minutes, until the "zoodles" have softened.
-
Serve the chicken breasts on top of the noodles. Enjoy!
