Zoodles Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup capers, drained
  • 1 cup cubed cooked chicken breast (optional)

How to make zoodles

Start by spiralizing the zucchini. While spiralizing, cut the zoodles with kitchen shears occasionally, to make the length of the zoodles more manageable. Set aside in a colander to drain for 15-20 minutes.
