  • 2 zucchini medium
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • queso fresco to garnish (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add the diced chicken and cumin and stir together for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. 
  2. While the chicken is the cooking, spiralize the zucchini. Trim the zucchini noodles with kitchen scissors to prevent extra long pieces.

  4. Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and toss together with the chicken and pico de gallo.
  5. Plate the Mexican chicken zucchini noodles, garnish with cilantro, queso fresco and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adding diced avocado or guacamole enhances creaminess and flavor.
  • Use queso fresco and cilantro as garnishes to complement the fresh and savory elements.
  • Trim zucchini noodles with kitchen scissors to manageable lengths for easier eating.
  • Cook chicken thoroughly with cumin to ensure flavor infusion and safe consumption.
