ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND TOMATOES IN A LEMON GARLIC SAUCE



Zucchini Noodles with Chicken and Tomatoes in a Lemon Garlic Sauce image

I am just loving my spiralizer attachment from KitchenAid®, and it's been super busy in my kitchen! If you don't have the attachment, there are other ways to spiralize, including using a vegetable peeler. This recipe was inspired by leftovers. Before serving, top this dish with your favorite chopped fresh herbs! I love roasting 2 chickens at once and serving them for dinner one night, then cutting the rest up and using for several different meals. I freeze what I won't use in the next 2 days. I also keep a little packed away for Jake! Love my doggie...

LEMON-BASIL CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES



Lemon-Basil Chicken with Zucchini Noodles image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup torn fresh basil, plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped stems
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds zucchini noodles
Red pepper flakes, for topping

Steps:

  • Spread 1/4 cup flour on a large plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, then add the chicken and cook until golden and almost cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Push the chicken to the edges of the skillet, add the shallot and basil stems to the middle and cook until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, until cooked through and the sauce is thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and swirl in 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in half the torn basil. Divide among plates and top with the chicken, lemon sauce, remaining basil and red pepper flakes.
