• 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water overnight
• 1/4 cup of water
• 3 TBS of nutritional yeast
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp sea salt
• pinch of paprika
• pinch of chili powder
• 2 tsp pimentos (optional)
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

• Pre-made zucchini noodles (or 3-4 large zucchinis if you want to make your own zoodles)
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 Tbs of Italian seasoning
• 1 bag of frozen broccoli
• Optional: fresh parsley for topping

What to do:

• Cook broccoli according to instructions on the bag and strain out the remaining water
• Pound the chicken breasts until they’re 1/4 inch thick and cut into small pieces
• Season the chicken with Italian seasoning and cook in a large sauce pan over medium heat until cooked all the way through
• While chicken is cooking, drain the cashews and place in high speed blender
• Add the remaining sauce ingredients and blend on high until creamy; may have to add 1-3 tsp of water to get to a creamy consistency
• When chicken is cooked, add the broccoli and the sauce in the pan with the chicken; mix well and simmer on low while you prepare your zoodles
• In another saute pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat and add your zoodles
• Saute zoodles about 5-7 minutes stirring consistently – DO NOT OVER COOK or they will become soaked and soggy
• Add your zoodles to your chicken mixture and mix well
• Serve with some fresh parsley sprinkled on top and enjoy!
