Cilantro Garlic Lime Chicken with Zucchini Noodles

Calories: 225kcal

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into 1" pieces
  • 4 large zucchini made into noodles with either a veggie spiralizer or using a potato peeler
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of taco seasoning or ½ tablespoons of both cumin & chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic salt or more to taste
  • 1-2 jalapeños - deseeded & diced
  • 1 & ½ small limes juiced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • non-stick cooking spray - I recommend Pompeian Avocado Oil Spray
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Spray a large skillet with cooking spray (I recommend Pompeian Avocado Oil Spray, so good!). Head the skillet to medium-high heat; then add the diced chicken breast & chopped jalapeño. Season with taco seasoning (or mixture of cumin & chili powder) along with the garlic salt. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned & cooked through. Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a separate dish; set aside.
  • Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, & return the same skillet to the stovetop. Spray with the cooking spray; and turn the heat to medium high. Add the zucchini noodles & cook for 60 seconds - stirring often. Add the chicken back to the skillet. Sprinkle in the chopped cilantro & add in the lime juice. Remove from the heat & toss to combine thoroughly. Season with salt & pepper (or garlic salt & pepper if you prefer).
  • Serve with lime wedges (if desired) - and serve immediately.
