Instructions
  1. Prepare the Zoodles:

    • Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with zero-calorie cooking spray or a small drizzle of olive oil.
    • Add the zoodles to the pan and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until just warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside to prevent them from becoming mushy.

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil or non-stick spray over medium heat.
    • Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, basil, and oregano to taste.
    • Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, celery, shredded carrots, and sliced mushrooms.
    • Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

  4. Make the Sauce:

    • Pour in the crushed canned tomatoes and stir to combine.
    • Add more basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
    • Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. Combine Everything:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the sauce and stir well.
    • Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes to coat the chicken in the rich tomato sauce.

  6. Assemble the Dish:

    • Plate the warm zoodles or traditional spaghetti in a bowl.
    • Ladle the chicken and mushroom tomato sauce over the top.
    • Finish with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese.

  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Toss lightly to mix or enjoy layered. Serve hot and savor every bite!
