Pesto Zucchini Noodles with Roasted Tomatoes and Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 tablespoon oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
4 medium zucchini, sliced into noodles
1/2 cup basil pesto



Directions

Toss the tomatoes in the oil, salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, grill it over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side, before setting aside to rest and slicing it.

Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and cook until just tender, about 1-2 minutes, stirring.

Toss the zucchini noodles, tomatoes and chicken in the pesto and enjoy!


Option: For One-Pan: Make this a one-pan meal by blistering the whole cherry tomatoes in the pan over medium-high heat until lightly charred on all sides and set aside before moving on to step two in the same pan.




Option: Omit the chicken.

Option: Use fresh tomatoes instead of roasted tomatoes.
