Instructions

Wash the zucchini and use a mandoline slicer to cut long noodle-shaped strips. If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, use a knife or peeler, although this will take a bit longer.

Put the chicken breast on a cutting board and slice into strips. Season with a little salt.

Heat a little olive oil in a skillet. Mince the garlic and fry in the skillet, stirring often. When the oil has absorbed the flavor of the garlic, add the noodles and lightly fry for 5 minutes, continuing to stir. Season with a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest. Let cook for a couple of minutes longer, and turn off the heat. Transfer to a plate.

Cook the chicken strips in the same skillet. Just add a little more olive oil, if required, and lightly fry the chicken for a couple of minutes. Now add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and season with a little salt. Cook until the chicken turns golden and then transfer to the plate.

In the same skillet, toast the almonds and, if you have them, a handful of sesame seeds, for a couple of minutes. When toasted, turn off the heat.

Arrange the zucchini noodles and chicken on a plate for serving. Finish by scattering over with the almonds and sesame seeds as desired.
