Feeds: 2-3

Cook Time: ~30 minutes

Oven Temp: 375°F


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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in an oven-safe skillet. Add chicken and coat both sides in Volcanic Sunset seasoning.

  3. Sear both sides for 2–3 minutes, then transfer skillet to oven. Bake until chicken hits 165°F internally.

  4. 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.

  5. Spiralize those zucchinis into zoodles (yes, it's fun—go wild).

  6. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and sauté zoodles until just tender. Set aside.

  7. In the same pan, heat another 1 tbsp oil, toss in spinach, and cook until wilted. Fold spinach into the ricotta mixture.

  8. 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.
