1. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles

1. Use a spiralizer to create thin zucchini noodles. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler for ribbon-style noodles or a mandolin with a julienne blade.
2. Save time by using store-bought pre-spiralized zucchini noodles if needed.

2. Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chicken chunks and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3. Sauté the Zucchini Noodles

1. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
2. Add the zucchini noodles, pesto, and cherry tomatoes.
3. Stir to coat the noodles evenly with pesto, cooking for about 1 minute until the noodles are slightly softened.

4. Combine and Finish

1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the zucchini noodles.
2. Add Parmesan cheese and toss everything together, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

5. Serve and Garnish

1. Portion the zucchini noodles and chicken into bowls or plates.
2. Garnish with fresh basil, extra Parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper (if desired).
3. Serve warm and enjoy!
