Gently flip chicken and spoon marinara sauce on top followed by Parmesan cheese. Continue to fry for 6-8 minutes longer or until chicken is fully cooked. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Add zucchini noodles to skillet and use tongs to toss. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Divide noodles between 4 black MPOF containers. Top with chicken breasts and garnish with chopped basil and black pepper.
