The Wonder of the Veggetti...yes that is it's name!

Oh my goodness. I have discovered a new favorite utensil... The veggetti! It turns any vegetable into a "pasta".

So last night I made a dish with zucchini noodles, or "zoodles". It was awesome. The zucchini noodles were easy to make with this little device I picked up at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $20. They were quick and so easy to make. They were ready in less than 10 minutes! The "zoodles" still taste like zucchini, but that didn't bother either of us because we both love the green veggie!

Greek Chicken with "Zoodles"

3 chicken breasts, sliced into tender size pieces
Greek dressing of your choice
3 Tbsp hummus, any flavor
2 Tbsp feta cheese
1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1/2 cup sliced red onions, in rings
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Preheat oven to 450.

In a ziploc bag, place sliced chicken and Greek dressing, just enough to marinate. Place in fridge and prepare other ingredients.

Slice up your "zoodles" with your veggetti. Set aside in bowl.

Slice up tomatoes, olives, and onions. Place tomatoes, olives, and red onions in a bowl. Toss with olive oil and lemon juice. Place on the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Place chicken on top. Cover each piece of chicken with hummus and feta cheese. Bake about 20 minutes, or until chicken is done.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Boil "zoodles" for less than 2 minutes! Then blanch in cold water to keep them from getting mushy.

Put the zoodles on the plate, and top with all of the yummy Greek chicken goodness!
