Ingredients
  • 4 zucchini, cut into spirals using a spiral slicer
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • cooking spray
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions

5
. In the meantime, prepare a nonstick skillet by coating it with cooking spray and placing it over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot skillet until it is browned and no longer pink in the center, taking 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
6
Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler

. Place the zucchini in the same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir until it is tender yet still firm to the bite, taking 3 to 4 minutes.
8
Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese
9
. Finally, broil the chicken in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, taking 1 to 2 minutes.
