Ingredients
- 3 cups Pico de Gallo (1 recipe)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 medium zucchini
- salt and pepper to taste
- queso fresco to garnish (optional)
- cilantro to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- While the chicken is the cooking, spiralize the zucchini. Trim the zucchini noodles with kitchen scissors to prevent extra long pieces.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, add the pico de gallo salsa to the pan. Stir gently for one minute, to warm it through, then turn off the heat.
- Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and toss together with the chicken and pico de gallo.
- Plate the Mexican chicken zucchini noodles, garnish with cilantro, queso fresco and enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- On the third time making this recipe I added diced avocado and it was divine! Definitely consider adding avocado to the recipe either as fresh avocado, Guacamole or drizzle on my Avocado Dressing for a creamy sauce.
