Instructions

• 1 Prepare Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large
  skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook

  skillet, let cool slightly, and then slice or shred.

  olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add
  spiralized zucchini noodles and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until just tender.
  Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming soggy.
• 3 Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet with the zucchini noodles.
  Toss to combine and heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper if
  needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese and optional garnishes
  like fresh basil, lemon wedges, or red pepper flakes.
