Tipps

Pick Firm Zucchinis

For the best results when making zucchini noodles, pick zucchinis that are firm and have a vibrant green color. They will hold up better when cooked and won't turn mushy.

Don't Overcook the Zucchini Noodles

Make sure not to overcook your zucchini noodles as they can get mushy. They only need a few minutes in the pan to heat up and soften slightly.

Use Fresh Basil

Fresh basil is key in this recipe! It offers far more flavor than dried and can make a vast difference in this dish.

Grill or Pan Fry Chicken

You can grill the chicken for a smoky flavor or pan fry it if you prefer. Either way, make sure to cook it to the proper temperature.

Leftover Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a pan or in the microwave.
