Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1Ā 1/4 pounds zucchini, thinly sliced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 bunch (8 ounces) spinach, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the zucchini; toss to coat, and let marinate while cooking the chicken.

    Step 3

    Toss the chicken with the zucchini mixture, spinach, red onion, pecans, Parmesan cheese, and mint. Serve.
