Mexican Chicken and Veggie Noodle Bowls

Hi friends!

Just popping in to share a little spur-of-the-moment recipe with you guys. I made these Mexican Chicken and Veggie Noodle Bowls for lunch yesterday on a whim and they turned out so well that I felt like I had to snap a few pictures and share them with you guys!

If you look closely you’ll see that my “cilantro garnish” in the photos is actually kale. And the sun was 100% out which means the lighting sucks…Again, I was not exactly prepared to take these photos 🙂

But these bowls are SUPER easy and use ingredients that I almost always have on hand so I just had to share them with you. You can make them even more Mexican-inspired by adding some corn and beans and cheese as toppings but I kept mine pretty simple.

Mexican Chicken and Spiralized Veggie Bowls

This recipe is super flexible. I used a medium zucchini, a medium summer squash, a red bell pepper and about half an onion. You could easily add extra zucchini or squash, or even throw in some spiralized potatoes or sweet potatoes! Use your favorite salsa (mine is Jack’s Special Salsa) and make it mild, medium or hot based on your preference.

Here’s the recipe:

    Oh My goodness! I had a “spiral bowl” that I impulsively bought at our local Jewel-Osco grocery store a few days ago. It included zucchini and summer squash spirals, cilantro and some slices of jalapeno better. It seemed like a good idea at the time of purchase, but after I got it home, I wasn’t having any inspiration about what to do with it. Enter: Google Search and your recipe. This was a weekend lunch for us and it was SO DELICIOUS! Definitely a keeper and it’s going to find a place in the rotation!
