Mexican Chicken Zucchini Noodles
I am on the east coast at my brother David's house. He made these Mexican Chicken Zucchini Noodles, which is healthy, delicious, low in calories and fat, and high in fiber. This dish is made with zucchini noodles, which are made by spiralizing zucchini into long, thin strips that resemble pasta. The zucchini noodles are then cooked in a skillet with chicken, cumin, and pico de gallo. It's a healthier alternative to traditional pasta dishes. Oh, and it's gluten-free.
