Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients
4 cups fresh arugula or spinach
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
4 medium zucchini
1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed, shredded
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
1. Pulse arugula, basil, pine nuts, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until chopped. While processing, gradually add 1/4 cup oil in a steady stream until mixture is smooth. Using a shredder or spiralizer, shred zucchini lengthwise into long strands.
2. In a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add zucchini strands and chicken. Cook and stir until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes, pesto, pepper and remaining salt; toss to coat. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve using a slotted spoon.
