Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Zucchini Noodles:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
    • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (you can marinate longer for more flavor).

  2. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:

    • Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer.
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Grill the Chicken:

    • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade.
    • Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

  4. Serve:

    • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Divide the zucchini noodles between serving plates and top with slices of grilled chicken.
