Ingredients
 

  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • ½ medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 4 basil finely chopped
  • 3 cups zucchini
  • 2 Tbsp. pesto sauce
  • 8 oz chicken breasts

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  • Add garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms and basil; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until mushrooms release liquid. Set aside.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, cut each zucchini into lengthwise strips about ⅛ inch thick. Turn zucchini slightly after cutting each strip to work evenly around the outside, stopping when you hit the seeds at the core. Discard cores. Cut slices lengthwise into ½- inch ribbons. Set aside.
