Zucchini Noodles with Cilantro Lime Chicken

Serves 4
Prep Time: 25 minutes/Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
3 medium zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds)  (I used 7 small ones)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 teaspoon cumin (I used 1 tsp. cumin)
1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes (I diced up 5 roma tomatoes)
2 teaspoons seeded, minced jalapeno  (I just use one large jalapeno chopped fine/no seeds)
juice of 1 medium or 1/2 large lime
3/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions:
Using a spiralizer or mandolin, make zucchini noodles and set them aside.  (You can also slice the zucchini thinly if you don't have the gadgets for making zucchini noodles)

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the chicken.  Cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.  Add the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the ground black pepper, Cook and stir 1 more minute.  Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Return the skillet to the stove on medium-high heat.  Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, zucchini noodles, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro and lime juice.  Saute for 1 minute.  Remove from the heat and add the cooked chicken.  Stir gently and serve hot.
