Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium zucchinis courgettes for my Brits
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Cashew Pesto or store bought pesto
  • 1 chicken breast
  • Olive oil
  • Optional: Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • First, get your zucchinis out and chop out the ends. Attach to your spiralizer to turn them into noodles.
  • Put the zucchini noodles aside.
  • Mix your pesto (anywhere from 5-9 tbsp) in with the avocado - mash them together and put them aside.
  • Flatten the chicken breast with a meat hammer and season both sides with some salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Put a little bit of olive oil in the pan and grill the chicken for approximately 6 minutes per side or until the chicken breast reads 165 farenheit, if you have a meat thermometer.
  • Put the chicken aside and dice them after about 5 minutes.
  • Put the zucchini noodles in a big pan with some olive oil.
  • Cook the noodles until they are soft (about 5-7 minutes) and then add the pesto avocado mix and the diced chicken.
  • Cook for another few minutes and then serve with some parmesan sprinkled on top.

Notes

You will need a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles.
