Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 8 oz. cooked chicken (use my Pressure Cooker Chicken Recipe)
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil or tallow
  • 1 14 oz. can coconut milk
  • 1 tsp. arrowroot
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon Juice
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions
  1. Spiralize zucchini noodles and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, add the coconut oil, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Sauté over low heat for 5 minutes, just until garlic turns golden.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, sea salt and lemon juice, whisk to combine, and bring to a simmer.
  4. Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, if using. Whisk in the arrowroot, a little at a time. You may wish to use only ½ tsp. arrowroot, depending on how thick you like your sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside, sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Saute zucchini noodles over medium-high heat to al dente, about 3 minutes. Add cooked chicken and pour sauce over. Stir to combine over low heat.
  6. Serve.
