Avocado Pesto with Zucchini Pasta
Ingredients
3 medium zucchinis (courgettes for my Brits)
1 ripe avocado
Cashew Pesto or store bought pesto
1 chicken breast
Olive oil
Optional: Parmesan
Preparation
1
First, get your zucchinis out and chop out the ends. Attach to your spiralizer to turn them into noodles.
2
Put the zucchini noodles aside.
3
Mix your pesto (anywhere from 5-9 tbsp) in with the avocado - mash them together and put them aside.
4
Flatten the chicken breast with a meat hammer and season both sides with some salt, pepper and paprika.
5
Put a little bit of olive oil in the pan and grill the chicken for approximately 6 minutes per side or until the chicken breast reads 165 farenheit, if you have a meat thermometer.
6
Put the chicken aside and dice them after about 5 minutes.
7
Put the zucchini noodles in a big pan with some olive oil.
8
Cook the noodles until they are soft (about 5-7 minutes) and then add the pesto avocado mix and the diced chicken.
9
Cook for another few minutes and then serve with some parmesan sprinkled on top.
