Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Plain Non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice + additional for drizzling
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 3/4 tsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil + additional for drizzling
  • 3/4 tsp Garlic minced
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 8 Oz Chicken breast
  • 2 Large Zucchinis or 3 medium
  • 1/3 Cup Reduced-fat Feta cheese
  • Minced Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, 3 Tbsp of lemon juice, honey, Chia seeds, 1 tsp Olive Oil, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the chicken into the bowl and spoon the mixture over-top so it is well covered. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Once the chicken has marinated, heat you oven to 350 degree and pour the chicken, along with the yogurt mixture into a small baking dish. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink throughout, about 25-30 minutes. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes to let the meat rest.
  • While the chicken cooks, spiralize the zucchini noodles using the 3mm blade of your spiralzer (you can also use a mandolin if you don’t have a spiralzer.) Place the noodles into a strainer and set over top of a medium bowl. Lightly sprinkle the zucchini noodles with salt and let strain for 30 minutes to release the water, stirring around every so often.
  • To assemble:
  • Squeeze out as much remaining liquid from the zucchini noodles as you can and place into a bowl. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and squeeze of fresh lime juice. Toss to evenly coat and divide between two plates.
  • Place the chicken on top of the zucchini noodles and whisk the sauce until it begins to come together (it will be a little clumpy) divide the sauce over top of each plate.
  • Sprinkle with feta cheese, parsley and DEVOUR.
