Zoodles, Sauteed Vegetables and Roast Chicken

This is a quick and easy recipe loaded with vegetables and protein-packed chicken, leaving behind the carbs of regular pasta.

​For this recipe, I decided to take a shortcut in order to reduce cook time.  Instead of using fresh chicken breasts and cooking them, I purchased a cooked whole chicken at the market.  I also used the pre-shredded brussels sprouts as they did not have any whole sprouts, which is another good option if you are not great with your knife work yet.  

Zoodles are a great sub for high-carb, high-calorie pastas if you are eating for dinner and are not running any marathons afterwards.  You can use a peeler to cut them into long thin strips (like here), or if you prefer a more spaghetti shaped zoodle, you can buy a julienne peeler, or a mandolin with a julienne attachment that will cut into that shape for you.


Serves: 2

Here's what you need: (as with all my recipes, adjust as you want.  Add and subtract ingredients based on your preferences)
​
  • 1 whole roasted chicken
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 1/2 C shredded brussels sprouts
  • 2 Tbsp grapeseed oil (or olive oil)

1. Prep: Dice the garlic, onion, tomato, bell pepper, and brussels (already shredded here).
Use the peeler to make zoodles - peel the skin in long strokes that extend the length of the zucchini. Stop when you hit the seeds.

2. Heat: Put the oil in the sautee pan and heat.  Also put the pot of water on to get the water towards boiling. 

​3. Sautee vegetables: When the oil is hot, start with the onions and garlic. About a minute later add the peppers and the brussels another minute later and then finally add the tomatoes.

4. Zoodles: After the tomatoes are in, and the pot comes to a boil, add the zoodles to the boiling water and reduce heat. Only leave in for 1-2 minutes, or the zucchini will get mushy.

5. Cut the chicken breasts and half of the avocado into strips.

6. Drain the zoodles.

7. Plate the zoodles into a birds nest, add the sauteed vegetables in the middle of the nest. Place the sliced chicken on top and then the avocado.

​8. Pair with a nice side salad.
