- Make sure to slice the zucchini into even ribbons for consistent cooking.
- Always zest your lemon before juicing to avoid any difficulties in zesting a juiced lemon.
- If you don't have a spiralizer or mandoline, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of zucchini.
- Cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure they are fully cooked without being dry.
- Fresh basil leaves are key to this recipe, but if you don't have them, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried basil.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dish.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
