  1. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tbsp. olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Pan-roast chicken breasts in non-stick skillet about 8 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Heat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Heat olive oil in pan and add zucchini noodles. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring gently with tongs.
