Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bit-sized pieces
  • 4 medium zucchini rinsed and spiralized
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Slices of lemon for garnish
Marinade-
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl combine the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken pieces and mix until evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add chicken pieces and fry, turning until all sides are golden brown and fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F.). You might have to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same pan add 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Add fresh parsley and garlic, add zucchini noodles and toss for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken pieces back to the pan and cook for another minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and thyme for serving.
