Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 medium zucchinis (spiralized into zoodles)

- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by spiralizing the zucchini into zoodles and setting them aside.
