Cooking Instructions
1.
Heat a large pan over medium/high heat. Add Coconut Butter (1/2 teaspoon) and Onion (1). Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the onions.
2.
Dice the Chicken Breast (450 gram) into 2cm pieces.
3.
Add chicken and Garlic (2 clove) on a pan. Season with Dried Basil (to taste), Dried Oregano (to taste), Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes or until golden.
4.
While the chicken is cooking, spiralize the Zucchini (2). If you don’t have special spiralizer, then just use your vegetable peeler and make ribbons out of zucchini.
5.
When the chicken is golden, then add Canned Crushed Tomatoes (400 gram) and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
6.
While the chicken is cooking, roast the Raw Cashews (100 gram) in another pan until golden. Season with Paprika (to taste), Ground Turmeric (to taste), and Salt (to taste).
7.
Add spiralized zoodles, you might need to cut the zoodles shorter when they are too long, Cherry Tomato (7) and season with Salt (to taste) when needed. Cook for another 1 minute then turn off heat.
8.
Serve the chicken zoodles with spiced cashews and Fresh Basil Leaf (to taste). Enjoy!
Author's Notes
If you don’t have a vegetable spiralizer, then you can always use your vegetable peeler and make zucchini tagliatelle.
