Ingredients

  • 2 packages Green Giant Veggie Spirals

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon oil

Instructions

  • Cook zucchini noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and brown chicken pieces, about 3-4 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Cook in batches if necessary. Remove chicken from pan.
  • To the skillet, add garlic, and cook until fragrant about 30 seconds.
  • Add butter, oregano and lemon zest. Pour chicken broth to deglaze making sure to scrap up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn heat to medium-high to bring sauce and chicken up to a boil. Immediately lower the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Place chicken back in pan and let gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until sauce has slightly reduced and thickened up. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve warm over zucchini noodles garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
