Ingredients

½cupbalsamic vinegar

1(28 ounce) canno-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained

½teaspoonItalian seasoning

1 ¼poundschicken cutlets

¼teaspoonsalt

⅛teaspoonground pepper

4ounceswhole-wheat spaghetti

4cupszucchini noodles (12 oz.)

4ouncesfresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1cupfresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Meanwhile, add tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the prepared baking dish; stir to combine. Nestle chicken into the tomatoes; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.

While the chicken bakes, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add zucchini noodles and stir quickly. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

Remove the pan of chicken from the oven; increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Top the chicken with mozzarella slices. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F and the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

Divide the spaghetti and zucchini noodles among 4 plates. Top with the chicken mixture. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction and sprinkle with basil.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
