Adapted by Kyle Libramonte

Prep Time: 15 m. • Cook Time: 30 m.

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts, boneless & skinless
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
  • 1 lb Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Fresh Basil, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Pesto Sauce
  • 2 Large Zucchinis, spiraled or cut into thin strips
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the Magnifique Claypot Oven to a Sear/Sauté High.
  2. Season your chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Once preheated, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute your chicken until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Set aside once done.
  4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil into the Claypot, add minced garlic, sauté until fragrant.
  5. Stir in cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Cook just until softened.
  6. Toss your chicken back in, add your pesto sauce and make sure to give a good mix to incorporate and coat every piece of chicken and vegetable.
  7. Gently toss in your zucchini pasta - or zoodles - into the dish. Make sure to get a good coating of the pesto on the zoodles.
  8. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the zucchini softens to a perfect doneness.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
