Recently I have seen pasta recipes that use ZUCCHINI in place of the noodles.
But you need this fancy tool called a "spiralizer"
which makes your zucchini turn into pretty noodles like this!
that tool is currently in my amazon cart and will be my new best friend :)
But in the meantime, this is how I made my...
Ingredients:
* 1 small zucchini cut into long thin slices
* 1/2 c. marinara sauce (Trader Joes sells a no sugar added kind)
* 2 organic chicken tenders
* 2-3 T. pesto (found at Trader Joes)
Directions:
1. Season both sides of the chicken tenders with salt & pepper and place in a glass baking dish.
2. Top tenders w/ desired amount of pesto
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 or until inside temp. is around 180 degrees
4. While chicken is baking, boil zucchini noodles for 5-7 minutes until softened but not mushy.
5. Top noodles with marinara sauce and sliced chicken. Enjoy!
