Chicken with Creamy Garlic Zucchini Noodles

I am going to go ahead and call day 1 of this week's meals a success! 




I bought myself a fancy-schmancy (or, if you've played with one, before, maybe not...) julienne slicer at Wire Wisk, and tonight, discovered the extreme awesomeness that is veggies disguised as noodles.

Chicken with Creamy Garlic Zucchini Noodles


Heat 3 TBSPS of olive oil in skillet, over med-high heat.
When warmed, add 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Sprinkle each side of the breasts with salt and pepper.
Brown until desired done-ness.
Turn down heat to low.
Prepare the zucchini noodles as below.


Ingredients for Garlic Zucchini Noodles:
4 large zucchini
4 TBSP bacon fat/drippings
             (I know-I never saved this, either, until I went Primal.  Do it.Trust  me.)
4 TBSP grass fed butter
2 tsp sea salt
2 TBSP garlic




Method:
Using the julienne slicer, make zucchini into noodles.




Heat bacon fat in skillet, over med-high heat.




Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook about 5mins - 
just enough to soften them.


Remove from heat.
Add butter, garlic, and sea salt.  
Toss to combine and enjoy!
Serve with the pan-fried chicken.

The flavor of these is so good, and the texture of the noodles is groovy- very similar to a traditional noodle! Andddd... Mikey (Soren) liked it.  "This is... is... good!"  Yessss.  Can't wait to make these again :)

  2. :0) Well... one of my kids didn't even like chicken before, so hey, it's progress!? I'm glad most of you liked it! I was surprised that the consistency is so much like noodles :) Cheese isn't Paleo - but it IS Primal :0)
