Zucchini Noodles with Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients:                                                                                                 

  • 4 ½ cups of zucchini
  • 27oz boneless & skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  •  ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon any small hot pepper/jalapeño
  • 4 teaspoons of lime juice
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 10 sprays of cooking spray

Directions:
Using a spiralizer or mandoline, make zucchini noodles. Transfer into a large bowl and set aside. You can also chop zucchini into any size pieces if you don’t have the gadgets for making zucchini noodles. Preheat a large ceramic non-stick skillet on high heat and add chicken (you can also use non-stick spray in your skillet). Sauté until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add cumin, ½ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper towards the end. Stir and cook for another minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe clean (or wash and pat dry) the skillet and return to the stove on high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add zucchini noodles. Sauté for 1.5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add previously cooked chicken, remaining salt, small hot peppers/jalapeños, lime juice, and cilantro. Stir gently and serve hot.
