Here is a super quick and healthy Zucchini Supreme spiralizer recipe for lunch or dinner. Leave out the chicken for a delicious vegetarian meal. Customize this recipe by adding any of your favorite vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 chicken breasts cubed or sliced and then sautéed in olive oil (**breading optional)
- 2 spiralized zucchinis
- Mama Lil’s Peppers or 1 fresh red bell peppers sliced
- Diced fresh or canned tomatoes (or marinara)
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 clove garlic diced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste – I like to use garlic salt
- red pepper flakes – use sparingly
Cook chicken in olive oil in a skillet until it is no longer pink, set aside. Put olive oil in a skillet, add all the vegetables and saute to the desired tenderness. Unbreaded chicken can be added to the skillet for the last few minutes, but breaded chicken should be tossed in after removing the vegetable from the skillet. Salt and pepper to taste. For an added kick, add some red pepper flakes *caution, use them sparingly.
**to bread the chicken first cut into cubes or strips, dredge in egg wash (one egg whisked and a little water) and then dredge in bread crumbs. Then saute in a skillet with olive oil.
