Ingredients

For the chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

For the zucchini noodles:

4 medium zucchini, spiralized
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the chicken with the herb mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the zucchini noodles. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the zucchini noodles with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
Divide the zucchini noodles among serving plates and top with the sliced chicken.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low-carb, high-protein Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Zucchini Noodles!
