Ingredients
Chicken
-
1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
-
2 large chicken breasts
-
2–3 tbsp Volcanic Sunset (don’t be shy—flavor’s the goal)
Zoodles
-
1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
-
4–5 medium zucchinis, spiralized
Sauce
-
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
-
8 oz fresh baby spinach
-
⅓ cup grated Parmesan (plus extra for serving)
-
1 unwaxed lemon (zest & juice)
-
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus a drizzle for good measure)
-
1 garlic clove, grated or pressed
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
1–2 tbsp Tuscan Evening (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in an oven-safe skillet. Add chicken and coat both sides in Volcanic Sunset seasoning.
-
Sear both sides for 2–3 minutes, then transfer skillet to oven. Bake until chicken hits 165°F internally.
-
While that spicy bird roasts, mix ricotta, olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest & juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and Tuscan Evening in a bowl. Stir until smooth and glorious.
-
Spiralize those zucchinis into zoodles (yes, it's fun—go wild).
-
In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and sauté zoodles until just tender. Set aside.
-
In the same pan, heat another 1 tbsp oil, toss in spinach, and cook until wilted. Fold spinach into the ricotta mixture.
-
Plate it: zoodles on the bottom, ricotta-spinach sauce on top, chicken sliced and laid across like the spicy royalty it is. Sprinkle with extra Parm and drizzle of olive oil if you’re feeling fancy.
