Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 medium zucchini
  • cup chicken stock
  • 1 packet unflavoured gelatin
  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper
  • cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon capers drained
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Spiralize the zucchini, set aside.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over chicken stock. Stir, set aside.
  • Slice chicken breasts in half - through the thickness - to make 4 thin chicken breast pieces. Cut each into 2-3 smaller pieces.
  • Brush chicken all over with mayo, season with salt and pepper, then dredge through the almond flour.
  • In a large pan, cook chicken in butter until browned on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Pour wine into the pan. Add lemon juice and gelled chicken stock, allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add capers to the pan, then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add chicken back to the pan, continue simmering for another 3 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through.
  • Add zoodles to the pan, stir to coat and allow to cook for another 2 minutes, or just until heated through.
  • Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley.

Notes

For prettier presentation, you can take out the chicken before adding the zucchini.
Divide the zucchini between 2 serving dishes, top with chicken, and pout any remaining sauce over.
