1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 Tbsp oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste

Toss the tomatoes in the oil, salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, grill it over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side, before setting aside to rest and slicing it.

Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and cook until just tender, about 1-2 minutes, stirring.
