Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 7-8 vine tomatoes or plum, roma
- 1 cup chopped basil, loosely packed (or 10 leaves)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice coconut, dairy, half and half, cream
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 5 medium zucchinis spiralized or cut to preference
- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper
- In a pan, warm a couple tablespoons of olive oil with 2 to 3 cloves of minced fresh garlic

- Remove chicken and set aside to rest
- Add 7 or 8 chopped vine tomatoes to the pan and cook down for about 5 minutes
- Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the pan. Scrape any caramelized bits from bottom of the pan and simmer until reduced by half
- While sauce is reducing, spiralize some zucchini (or slice as desired) and add to a separate pan. Saute until tender
- Add 1 cup of chopped, loosely packed basil leaves (or about 10 leaves) to the pan. Stir until wilted and remove from heat
- Add 1/4 cup of milk of choice (dairy or coconut work well, so does cream or half and half), and 1/2 cup of greek yogurt. Stir to combine.
- Slice chicken and return to pan
- Lay zucchini into meal prep containers, top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with extra tomatoes and basil if desired.
