Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium fresh zucchini, spiralized or shaved
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and about ? teaspoon of the basil.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook for several minutes on each side until browned on both sides and cooked throughout. Remove the chicken from the skillet onto a plate and set aside.
