1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut 1/2-inch cubes
kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 lb grape tomatoes, cut in half
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 large zucchini, spiralized with Blade D
2 oz fresh mini mozzarella balls, cut in half
INSTRUCTIONS

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and oregano.
In a large non-stick pan set over med-high heat, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil.
Add the chicken and cook, stirring until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining oil and garlic and cook until golden, 30 seconds.

Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, until the tomatoes soften, 15 minutes.
