Pesto Parmesan Chicken on Zucchini Noodles

This super simple bad boy was created out of a carving for pesto one night. While I pretty much never do real pasta anymore, I do enjoy a great pesto sauce and pesto reminds me of great Italian pasta dishes. Instead of doing damage to my body with a high influx of carbs, I whipped out the veghetti maker and loaded up of nutrient and water packed zucchini noodles.  In less than 18 minutes, I was putting dinner on the table and getting rave reviews on the meal.
