Ingredients
  

Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Pesto:

  • 1/2 cup plain, non-fat greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup basil (firmly packed, 12g or .75 oz package, plus additional for garnish)
  • 2 tsp fresh garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper (to taste)

Zoodles:

  • 4 medium zucchinis (spiralized)
  • 2 tsp Redmond Real Salt Ancient Fine Sea Salt

Tomatoes:

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350. Rub the chicken with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until no longer pink inside, about 25-30 minutes. 
  • While the chicken cooks, combine the Greek yogurt, basil and garlic in a SMALL food processor (mine is 3 cups) and process until broken down and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
  • With the food processor running, stream in the olive oil until well mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Once the chicken in cooked, increase the oven temperature to 400 F.
  • Dice the cooked chicken and stir it into the pesto. Divide the chicken between 4 meal prep bowls.
  • Place a strainer over a large bowl and add the zoodles into it. Sprinkle with the salt and stir to coat. Let them sit and release their moisture, stirring every so often.
  • In a medium bowl toss the tomatoes and olive oil together. Sprinkle with the sea salt and then spread onto a baking sheet. Bake until the tomatoes just begin to soften and burst, about 10-12 minutes. Divide between the meal prep bowls.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture from the zoodles as you can and then divide between the meal prep bowls. Add some more sliced basil if you'd like.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days for meal prep.
