Instructions

Tomato Basil Bruschetta

  • Combine all of the tomato basil bruschetta ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve the bowls.

Grilled Chicken Zoodle Bowls

  • Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, garlic and basil.
  • Add to a large plastic bag with the chicken and marinate for up to 8 hours, I would recommend at least an hour.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side.
  • While the chicken is grilling, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet, then add the zucchini noodles and saute 3-5 minutes.
  • Divide the zucchini noodles between two bowls.
  • Once the chicken is grilled, slice it up and place on top of the zoodles.
  • Spoon the bruschetta over the chicken and zoodles.

Notes

  • Omit the parmesan cheese in the bruschetta to make this recipe dairy-free, whole30 approved and paleo.
  • These zoodle bowls will stay good in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. They’re great for meal prepping and can be eaten hot or cold.
