Instructions

- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice golden-brown color.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Stir in the basil pesto, mixing well to coat the zucchini noodles evenly.
- Add the sliced chicken back into the skillet and toss everything together until heated through.
- Serve immediately, topped with halved cherry tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese.
