CHICKEN ZUCCHINI BITES

Zucchini packs a nutritious punch. It’s high in antioxidants, low in net carbs, packed with fiber (in other words it will get you good and full), and is relatively low calorie.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. Chicken Breast Tenderloin, diced
• 1/4 Cup Rao’s Homemade Pizza Sauce
• 2 Large Zucchini, sliced
• 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp. Sea Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil for 3-4 minutes over medium high heat. Add the garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes or until aromatic.
3. Add the chicken, salt, and 1 tablespoon of basil to the skillet and cook until done, about 10-12 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, wash the zucchini and cut into about 1-inch slices. Arrange slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Top with small portions of pizza sauce, about a half teaspoon.
5. When the chicken is done, top the zucchini slices with small portions each, taking care not to allow portions to fall onto the pan.
6. Finish topping zucchini with red onion, feta, mozzarella, and basil – in that order.
7. Cook at 400 degrees until cheese is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Optional: For the final 1-2 minutes in the oven, allow your zucchini to sit under the broiler for extra color and flavor.
