Description
Enjoy a flavorful low FODMAP delight with Zucchini Noodles, Pesto, and Grilled Chicken. Tender zucchini noodles are tossed in aromatic basil pesto and served alongside perfectly grilled chicken. A delicious and stomach-friendly option that combines fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, and grated Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the garlic-infused olive oil until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Brush the chicken breasts with garlic-infused olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Wash the zucchinis and trim off the ends.
- Use a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles.
- Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy.
- Toss the cooked zucchini noodles with a few spoonfuls of the prepared pesto until they are well coated.
- Divide the zucchini noodles among serving plates.
- Top with sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle a little extra pesto over the chicken and noodles if desired. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
