Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips 4 cloves garlic, minced lemon, zested 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 teaspoon fresh oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for pan 4 zucchini squash, cut into 'noodles' using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler 1 pinch red pepper flakes salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese 4 fresh basil leaves, chopped lemon, juiced 2 fresh tomatoes, diced

Instructions

Place chicken, garlic, lemon zest, chives, thyme, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 cup olive oil in a resealable plastic bag; toss to coat chicken and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken with marinade until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from pan; set aside to keep warm. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon oil into the same skillet over medium-high heat; stir in zucchini and red pepper flakes and cook until zucchini is warm, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir ricotta cheese and basil into zucchini; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to pan with zucchini mixture; stir to combine. Remove pan from heat, squeeze lemon juice over entire dish, and garnish with diced tomatoes.
