Lemon Butter Chicken Zoodles
Where are my zoodle fans? I love zucchini but admittedly so, we don’t have zoodles that much and I don’t know why because they are DELICIOUS! Also admittedly, I added butter, lemon and garlic to them so nothing that starts with butter, lemon and garlic ever ended badly.
Low carb meal that doesn’t feel like I’m being deprived. Again, because of butter, lemon and garlic. Sense the theme?
So easy to throw together and really a great recipe for one of those busy weeknights when you want something good, something healthy and something quick. Done, done and done!

1 lb zoodles
4 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more for garnish

Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken breasts. Cook chicken in the skillet, about 6 minutes on each side until cooked all the way through. . Remove and let rest while you cook the zoodles.
In the same skillet on medium heat, add butter and garlic and cook for about 1-2 minute. Pour in lemon juice and lemon slices.
Add zoodles, spinach, parmesan and red pepper flakes (eliminate red pepper flakes if you do not want it to have a kick). Cook and stir until zoodles start to soften and spinach starts to wilt. Sprinkle wth salt and pepper.
