Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Non Fat Yogurt
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes Roughly chopped, packed in oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Plus additional for the zucchini noodles
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Plus more for sprinkling on the chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic Minced
- 1 teaspoon oil From the jar of sundried tomatoes
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast 4 small breasts
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- cooking spray
- 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Romano Cheese Blend Or just plain parmesan
- 4 medium Zucchini Squashes
- 1/4 cup fresh basil Sliced
Instructions
- In a small food processor (mine is 3 cups) blend the Greek yogurt, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, a few pinches of pepper, 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, garlic and oil until smooth, and the tomatoes are mostly broken down. Depending on the strength of your food processor, this could take a good 3-4 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides down every so often.
- Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and add in the chicken breast. Turn the chicken, spooning the yogurt over each breast, until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Once marinated, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken into the prepared baking dish. Also, place the cherry tomatoes onto a small baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink inside, and the tomatoes are soft and roasted, about 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the chicken and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
- While the chicken bakes, use the 5mm blade on your spiralizer to turn the zucchini into noodles. Place the zucchini noodles into a large strainer, set over a large bowl, and toss with a little bit of salt. Let sit, stirring occasionally, as the chicken cooks.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the zucchini noodles as you can and toss them a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of pepper. Add in the roasted tomatoes and lightly toss.
- Divide the mixture between 4 plates and place a piece of chicken on top. Divide the fresh basil between the bowls and DEVOUR.
