One of my favorite blogs is called The Lean Green Bean, such a creative name. Lindsay’s focus is on healthy eating and fitness. She is a Registered Dietitian so she knows what she’s talking about! On her blog you will find healthy recipes, nutrition information, tips for new moms, workouts and more! I have made a lot of her recipes, but recently she posted a recipe called Zoodles with Chicken and Spicy Almond Butter. This is a low-carb, high in protein recipe. It looked amazing and I had pretty much everything I needed to make this delicious and healthy chicken and zoodles meal.
First a little back-story. Over a year ago my daughter introduced me to her vegetable spiralizer.
She used it all the time and just raved about it. I decided to order one for myself. You can find them on Amazon for a reasonable price. You could also use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler and get similar results. Well I received the gadget and it sat in my closet for a year until I went and spent a week with my daughter. She is still using her spiralizer almost everyday. I came home and got mine out of the closet and have been using it ever since! So when I saw this recipe for Chicken and Zoodles I had to try it.
For the detailed recipe click here.
Basically you spiralize your zucchini, sprinkle with some salt and drain. While the zoodles are draining proceed with the rest of the recipe.
Add the zoodles at the last minute just before your sauce.
It was delicious and sure to be a summertime favorite especially when I start getting zucchini from my garden!
Thank you Lindsay for sharing such an amazing recipe!

That looks so good! I’ve been wanting to try zoodles, but don’t own a spiralizer. I usually use a potato peeler and just make ribbons.

Ha ha! The whole time I’m reading through, I’m waiting for the Zoodles to make their appearance. You know, the animal-shaped tomato pasta in a can? Now I get it: spiral zucchini=zoodles! This sounds much better now than I was thinking originally!
Thank you for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty! Looking forward to seeing you back next week.
