Ingredients
- 1 lb. thinly sliced chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs. spiralized zucchini (about 3 medium zucchinis)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Step 1: Season and Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken into a medium bowl.
Add paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil to the chicken.
Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat up a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once heated, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 3: Cook the Zucchini Noodles
To the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic.
Then, add zucchini noodles (zoodles) and season them with salt and red pepper flakes.
Allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the zucchini noodles.
Serve immediately for a delicious and healthy meal.
