    Title: Lemon-Basil Chicken
    Categories: Chicken
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/4 c All-purpose flour
    4 Skinless; boneless chicken
    -breasts, (6 to 8 oz ea)
    Kosher salt and freshly
    -ground pepper
    2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 Shallot; finely chopped
    1/2 c Fresh basil; torn
    3/4 c Low-sodium chicken broth
    1 Lemon; juice and grated zest
    -of
    3 tb Unsalted butter; cold
    1 1/2 lb Zucchini noodles
    Red pepper flakes; for
    -topping

    Spread 1/4 cup flour on a large plate. Season the chicken with salt
    and pepper, then dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Heat a
    large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and
    heat until shimmering, then add the chicken and cook until golden and
    almost cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

    Push the chicken to the edges of the skillet, add the shallot and
    basil stems to the middle and cook until softened but not browned,
    about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1 tb flour and cook 1 minute.
    Add the chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil, scraping
    up any browned bits. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken
    occasionally, until cooked through and the sauce is thick, 3 to 4
    minutes. Turn off the heat and swirl in 2 tb butter until melted. Add
    the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.

    Melt the remaining 1 tb butter in a large nonstick skillet over
    medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and season with salt and
    pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 2 to 3
    minutes. Toss in half the torn basil. Divide among plates and top
    with the chicken, lemon sauce, remaining basil and red pepper flakes.
