For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil can substitute with butter for richness

For the Zoodles

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and hot sauce. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare Zoodles: If using fresh zucchini, spiralize it into noodle-like strands. If using store-bought, ensure they are fresh and dry.
  • Cook Chicken: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Make Lemon Butter Sauce: To the skillet, add remaining butter, lemon juice, chicken broth, and additional hot sauce. Stir and simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Incorporate Zoodles: Add minced garlic and zoodles to the skillet, tossing gently until the noodles are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, combining it with the sauce and zoodles. Garnish with minced parsley, thyme, chili flakes, and lemon slices.

Notes

Adjust seasonings and spices while cooking to fit your taste preferences. Fresh herbs and lemon slices elevate the dish's flavor.
