Zucchini Pasta with Honey Glazed Chicken
Sweet Honey Glazed Chicken Over Zucchini Ribbon Pasta
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Optional: red pepper flakes for a hint of heat
Directions:
Slice the zucchinis into thin ribbons using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the glaze.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey glaze over the chicken, turning the chicken to coat it evenly. Cover and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is thickened.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and lightly sauté the zucchini ribbons for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Slice the glazed chicken into strips.
Plate the zucchini pasta and top with honey glazed chicken slices.
Garnish with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes before serving.
