  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Stir-fry the chicken for five to seven minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan and sauté the minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots and stir-fry for three to four minutes until they begin to soften.
  7. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to combine.
  9. Cook for an additional two to three minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients.
  10. In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the spiralized zucchini noodles for about two minutes until tender but still slightly firm.
  11. Combine the zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry, tossing until the noodles are well coated with sauce.
  12. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For optimal texture, work quickly with zucchini noodles. Pat chicken dry before cooking for better browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
