Chicken and Zucchini Noodle Caprese

This fresh low-carb summer dish is a great way to enjoy your farmer’s market finds. I love swapping noodles for zucchini in so many of my dishes, a few favorites are Kung Pao Chicken Zoodles, Shrimp Scampi Zoodles, and Chicken Zoodle Lo Mein.

How To Make Perfect Zucchini Noodles

When making zoodles (zucchini noodles) I prefer a thicker noodle because it has more of bite and I’m careful not to overcook them so they don’t get watery. Under two minutes is all they need, then I quickly remove them from the hot skillet or they will keep cooking.

The Inspiralizer is the best spiralizer out there in my opinion, all the blades are built-in so easy clean-up and it’s tough enough to cut through a butternut squash with ease.
