This is a recipe I created as I strive to eat more healthy foods.

Makes 1 serving

  Cooking spray
  6 oz. raw chicken breast cut into chunks or strips
  ½ cup (56 grams) chopped onion
  ½ cup zucchini (56.5 grams,) spiralized

  1/2 Tbsp. fresh chopped basil, OR 1/2 tsp. dried basil
   ½ tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. granulated garlic
